I haven’t driven the car for a long time and found out one tire is totally flat this morning, I live close to a gas station where I can pump the air in, but I need to call a tow truck, are there any better cheaper ways to resolve this? Thanks!

I know the tire manufacturers say that it is recommended that you take the tire’s pressure when it is cold. I however my nearest gas station is about 3 mins from home. Is that still considered “cold” by their standards?

The front right tire on my jeep is startin to lose air. I think it is because it is not driven at all. I will not be able to drive it for a few more months. What should I do before I take it to a gas station to fill it with air?
I don’t have a way to take it off the jeep. I do not have a jack.

I’ve been told that Costco fills their tires up with nitrogen and I should only get them refilled at Costco.

What percent of Costco’s “nitrogen” air is Nitrogen? The air we breathe is 78% N, so does that mean standard air at the gas station is 78% N, or is it a different amount.

If I have Costco air in my tires will it be harmful to refill it with standard air?

Q-ington asked:


I’ve only had a car for like 5 months, and one time I tried putting air into my airs at the gas station. I dunno if I was doing it right. Do I have to pull the little trigger on the pump? Should I be able to hear any noise while putting air into the tires? I bought a tire pressure gauge so I’ll know what the tire pressure is.

Where can I go to get air in my car tires?

I’ve been to plenty of gas stations looking for air pumps and it seems like nobody has them. The one gas station I found with one has been broken for over a week. I need like 10 psi in all my tires so any advice is helpful.
