Flat tire wont inflate
i woke up today morning and noticed that my passenger front wheel was really flat. i took it to the gas station to pump it and after about 10 minutes of pumping air i noticed the tire didnt inflate at all, it was still the same. now eveytime i drive ma car starts wobbling and my wheel alignment is starting to get messed up. does anyone know what the problem could be.

Why would you drive it with a flat. Thats really bad. Get a new tire from any used tire place for 40$ and youll be good to go. I have an extra full size tire and steel rim, I would give it to you but we live far apart.

ohhh low pro. How long did you get the tires mounted on the rims.
Check if there is any holes in it. Get your hose and water it down and see if you see any water bubbles. If you see bubbles then there is a hole. Small bubbles might appear, the opnes your looking for is bigger.

i had the exact same problem, and i have 17's with low pros as well. and it was the passenger side front tire too! except mine acutally filled up, and i could drive it around... but when i left it overnight in my garage it would deflate again, it was a bit of a pain filling it up everytime i wanted to go somewhere, but i just replaced all my tires with winters and 14" steelies. Winters coming anyway so i figured theres really no point trying to fix it the tire of getting a replacement tire

When you take your tire off, you see a lip around the inside edge of the tire. thats the seal. There is probably a tare or a chunk out of that seal.
