Ugg, a flat!
So, pulled the 6-er out of hibernation and she was sitting on a flat - front passanger side. Not sure at what point over the winter the tire deflated. I pumped the tire full of air and it's holding just fine (been 2 days) but now I'm worried about the tire. I haven't taken it for a drive yet.
To my question - what are the odds that tire is ok? Should I be shopping for replacements? |
My thoughts... the tire went flat for a reason. Usually you only lose a couple lbs over winter and top them up. So there is a reason for it to go right flat...maybe bad valve stem, poor seal to rim, tiny leak in tire, etc.

I wouldn't feel safe driving on it if its sat flat for an extended period of time. Do a nice smokey burnout to finish it off a replace it. Oh and film it please!

I would wet the tire with water to see if there is a leak coming from somewhere. :wink:

Only flat on the bottom right ? Someone had to say it.

But as said a few posts before, soapy water works best for finding a leak.. |
