Flat or slowly deflating tyre: what to do

The tyre pressure light comes on, or you notice one tyre looks softer than the others. You open the boot and realise your car has no spare wheel at all.

🤔 Why does this happen?

Tyres lose air slowly over time, and temperature changes affect the pressure. A nail or small puncture can cause a slow leak, and many new cars are delivered without a spare wheel to save weight and space.

ℹ️ Good to know

The correct tyre pressure is shown in your car's handbook or on a sticker in the door frame or fuel flap. Correct pressure saves fuel and makes your tyres last longer.

✅ Solved in 3 steps

  1. Use a portable cordless or 12V tyre inflator to bring the tyre back to the recommended pressure.
  2. For a small puncture in the tread, a plug repair kit can get you going again, but only as a temporary fix until you reach a workshop.
  3. Check pressure regularly with a tyre gauge, or add a TPMS sensor kit if your older car has no pressure monitoring.

❓ Frequently asked questions

How long can I drive on a plugged tyre?

A plug repair is a temporary solution. Drive carefully and have the tyre checked by a workshop as soon as possible.

How often should I check my tyre pressure?

Check it regularly, for example every few weeks and before long trips, ideally when the tyres are cold.
