Hi guys,

My Nitto tire is actin' weird. It looked a little low, and I went to put air in it, and it doesn't seem to take air. Like it fires the air all over the place. I push the air thing in pretty hard but it never seems to take the air. Just air blows everywhere.

Is the valve broken or what?

 

Could be just coming loose. Try to tighten the valve stem. That may be why it's losing air also. If that doesn't work then if may be broken.

 

how to tighten the valve stem?

 

I think all you have to do is tighten the needle in the middle of the valve stem.

 

so take the little valve cap off, then take like needle-nose pliers and tighten the little pin in the middle?? Do I turn it clockwise?

 

Make sure there isn't anything stuck in the valve first. If not you have a bad valve core. Go anyplace that has auto parts and get a pack of cores ($2.00) and you will see how they go in. (The bicycle guys have the tool built into valve caps). Put your jack under the car and change the core.
