2008 Vauxhall Meriva Repair Question
Flat tyre from a bump
Answer
The rim is most probably bent resulting in pressure loss. If possible inflate the tire to the correct pressure first. Otherwise get the spare tire to replace or send the vehicle to a tire shop for them to check.
I don't have a spare tyre, as I had to use it not long agao and I have not been able to afford a replacement :( I'm hoping, pumping it up will help, if it then goes down I'll need to somehow get it fixed i guess :(
Jack up vehicle and rotate the tire to check for a bent rim. You might be able to pump it up but if the rim is bent, leakage might occur.
That is not a good reason for your tires to go flat. Quality matters and for your case it is a matter of lack of quality. You need quality and genuine tires. However, I do not overrule your claim but the thing is that fake tires have flooded the market.
