Not all tyre problems happen instantly. Sometimes, a slow puncture can creep up on you, causing gradual pressure loss over days or weeks. Many drivers ignore it—until it’s too late.
What Causes a Slow Puncture?
🔹 Nails or sharp objects – Small punctures that leak air over time.🔹 Faulty valve stems – The tiny valve that keeps your tyre inflated may be damaged.🔹 Bead leaks – Air seeping from the seal between the tyre and the wheel rim.🔹 Tyre age – Over time, tyres naturally degrade, leading to small leaks.
Why It’s a Bigger Problem Than You Think
A slow puncture doesn’t just mean checking your tyres more often—it affects your driving safety. Underinflated tyres increase fuel consumption, reduce grip, and can lead to a full blowout when you least expect it.
