How To Find the Hole In Your Tire
How To Find the Hole In Your Tire Are you noticing a continuous loss in tire air pressure? Before you can attempt to fix a flat tire, you'll need to find the source of the leak.
First, check to see if you find a screw, nail or other kinds of debris sticking out of the tire. If not, finding the source of the leak can be a little bit difficult - but we have a trick that will help make this easy.
You'll need to fill a squirt bottle with a vegetable base soap and water solution or tire manufacturer approved leak detector liquid.
Inflate the tire and then spray the entire tire with your bottle full of cleaner. As the cleaner runs down the tread of the tire you should notice a small volcano-like eruption of bubbles right where your puncture lies.
Now that you've found the hole in your tire, we recommend having a qualified tire professional inspect the tire and make a proper plug and patch repair if allowable by industry standards. The experts at a Tire & Service Network location near you will be able to assist you with this.
