The leak is where the valve stem is. It's a big leak, I don't know exactly where it is located, but it's by the wheel next to the valve stem, so i'm assuming that is where it is. I put my finger on the valve, and it stopped. I found this out by airing my tire at a gas station.

Well, if it is the valve stem you could probably take it to a garage that does tires or some sort of shop and need be they could replace it provided the tire is still good. The other thing, if it is not the valve stem there might be a small hole somewhere near by. Either way it can be fixed. Don't need to buy a brand new tire when the old one can be fixed.

If the leaks tops by putting your finger over the top, It is just a valve stem core. Go to Auto parts store and tell them you need a valve stem remover and valve stem core. They will probably help you. It takes about 23 seconds. good luck.

Yes, they can put in new valve stems as well. Cost you a couple of dollars for the stem and few more for the labor

more then likely your valve stem is broke. basically im sure thats what it is. if you didnt mess up the tire while riding flat, you can take it to a tire shop and let them put another stem in it. it shouldnt cost you no more then 10 dollars at the most and thats streching it. but if you rode on the tire to long , then youve damaged the tire for sure. but thats your problem right there. just get them to put a new tire stem in.

You need a new valve stem.....the valve stem is part of the rim not the tire.........

yes actually go to the nearest walkamart maybe k-mart and get fix-a-flat or you can core the tire( cut the stem get a new one and get a speacial type of glue substance that will glue the new stem on and prevent leacks but fix a flat is much much cheaper( i always keep a bottle or 2 in my cat

Your vavle stem is probably broken, just have it replaced and and check for leaks in a water tank. It is only about $8.00 at a tire store. He is town I can get it fixed for five.
