What Causes Difficulty Inflating a Newly Replaced Tire with Large Gaps?
1 Answers
Here are the reasons why a newly replaced tire with large gaps may be difficult to inflate: 1. The air inlet hole of the valve core is blocked: Unscrew the pressure nut, remove the valve core, detach the valve rubber tube, and use a thin wire or needle tip to clear out any dirt or debris. 2. The valve rubber tube is melted and blocking the valve core hole: After removing the valve core, clean it with gasoline or similar solvent, then use a thin wire to clear the passage. Once confirmed to be clear, replace it with a new rubber tube. 3. The air passage is blocked: Extremely cold weather may cause moisture in the valve rubber tube to freeze into ice, blocking the air passage. Remove and use heat to melt the ice, then shake off any water droplets. 4. Issue with the air pump: Check the air pump or try using a different one.
