Fix a Slow Leaking Tire (Tubeless Tires)

Tubeless tires can deflate during changes in the weather if the seal is not perfect (Or if you hit a curb or pot hole and dinged the seal). This can be annoying and waste very expensive gasoline. Follow these steps for each tire.

Steps

1. Buy one can of Fix-a-Flat.
2. Follow the directions on the can (very simple).
3. Drive to a gas station and fill the tire to proper level (if necessary).
4. Drive at least {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}} to distribute the sealant before it dries.

Tips

• Lick your finger and rub on embossed tire pressure to see more clearly.
• Proper tire pressure is usually on the plate on the drivers side door.

Warnings

• Not recommended for newer cars.
• If this doesn't work, replacing the tire might not work. You may need to have the wheel assembly repaired or replaced.

Things You'll Need

• One can of Fix-a-Flat per leaking tire
