and a tire that has lost air in the right rear, what do you think happened?
What should I do, change the tire or try to pump it up? Where do I get a pump for pumping up tires? Can I just use one of those pumps you use for bikes?

Depending on how long you were gone on vacation, most likely you have a slow leak from a nail or screw in the tire. You can buy an air pump as others have suggested, or get an air tank and use that to fill the tire!
You could also put the spare on, and take the tire to have it checked and repaired if needed.
Do not use Fix a flat. It is flammable, and you will never NEVER get the tire balanced properly after using it!
If you have AAA or road service, call them and they will come and change the tire for you!

Hello....get a air pump from Advance, Pep Boys or Autozone and get air in the tire. Then I would take the car to a local tire store and have them look at the tire. There might be a nail in it or you could have a puncture in the inside of the tire. Hope this helps.

I would gladly change tire problems with you. A friend brought back my van with one of the tires blown to hell. It is not repairable from sidewall damage. I am using that stupid little do-nut spare. My tires are really new and just cost approximately $85.00 each. And yes, you can use a bicycle pump, but it will take a while. Some kids prolly let the air out as a joke.

Slow leak possible. Take it to a garage and see if it can be repared or if it needs to be replaced.
A bike pump will not work but there are emergency flat fixers sold at auto parts places that will fix it well enough to get to a repair place.

You cant trapped air forever,they needs freedom too,the only way to free themselves is sipping out, through valve gaps or minute hole,try to pump in,you can find it in the store or car booth,yes you can use bike's pump too,if the "head" acceptable ones,not workables - situations use the spare tire,otherwise call serviceman.

You either have a slow leak or someone let it down.
You can get air at any gas station.
you cant use a bike pump not enough air pressure but you can buy a electric air pump at wal-mart for about 30-50 dollars

I don't know what happened but don't use a bicycle pump on it. Look and see if there is anything stuck in the wheel to see if it is punctured. If not, you can probably air it up. You can get an air compressor to air it up but it might be safer to get a new tire instead.

For $20 you can get one of those compressors that you plug into your lighter jack. Use one of those. Pump up the tires. You probably have a slow leak. Go take them to a tire shop and have them checked, or sue soapy water and cover the tire in it, and look for bubbles, that is how they find holes.
