i would head to a gas station and use the air compressor to add air, if you cant drive it then rent/borrow a compressor and fill..............................

You might want to use some fix-a-flat...or just go straight to a tire shop if you drive too long on the rim you could bend it and you will never get a good seal

don't use fix-a-flat if you ever plan on taking it to a tire shop...those guys might not touch it if you do...have you seen how that **** tears up their hands...

I've never heard of that stuff hurting their hands.

A while ago that stuff was flammable. There was a tire shop in texas. A customer brought in a tire for repair. Air was leaking. Employee takes the tire, finds a small puncture. To fix a puncture you have to take a special metal file and rough up the edges of the puncture to get a good seal. Employee uses metal file. While using the file, he rubs up against one of the wires in the tire. Friction causes spark, causes explosion because of the flammable fix-a-flat, Employee dies and shop area obliterated. True story.

Make sure if you buy that stuff, it says "non-flammable". And if you ever use that stuff on a tire that is about to be fixed, TELL THEM.

I'm sorry but not to be rude, but if you don't know how to fix a flat how are you gonna mod your car???

Step 1: Stop vehicle
Step 2: Open trunk and get jack kit
Step 3: Take lug wrench and loosen lugs but do not remove
Step 4: Jack car up, make sure to have car in park, off, and e brake set
Step 5: Remove old tire
Step 6: Put on donut and tighten nuts
Step 7: Lower car and tighten nuts as tight as you can (don't strip nuts)
Step 8: Put jack kit in trunk and flat tire
Step 9: Drive to your nearest tire shop

Okay, this guy doesn't even drive an Accord, let alone post much in this forum. That's what happens when you forget to log out.

I hate dealing with fix a flat at work. Sometimes I wanna take a handful of the gunk and slap the owner of the car in the face with it. It makes such a mess in the shop and smells like stank dookie. Your spare tire will hold air longer than that fix a flat ****. DONT BUY FIX A FLAT unless you flat chested.

i second that, fix a flat is stupid sometimes it smells like industrial strength ammonia, burns the eyes, or the green fix a flat that sticks to the inside walls of your tire, it really does no good unless you can find where it's leaking from, another thing for those people with chrome wheels it literally peels the chrome off, so you might wanna think about that before using the stuff

Do you mean that you have a flat?? Or that You don't know how to put air in the tires?? If its the 2nd one
1. Go to the gas station stop car near Air/Gas machine
2. Take off little black cap on tires
3. Grab Air hose (or the only hose there and push the little button to turn the air on)
4. Stick hose tip into tire (now you gotta stick it in hard cause of the pressure and whatnot then you will hear a "shhhhhhhh" sound if you did it correctly and the tire will start rising, if you hear a fat spraying sound like "shh..Shh..shhh" then you did it wrong).
5. Take out hose when correct psi is reached (you need a tire gauge for this)
6. put stuff back and put cap back on tires


if its the first one then VRDrvr has the instructions for that
