hahahaha i think the pump was prolly bad. did you happen to check all the nozzles on all four wheels instead of just giving up on the first wheel?? or how about asking someone else to check their tires on that exact pump and nozzle?? you gotta be a detective!!

smh. people can't really be this dense and helpless. i have a strong feeling this is user error.

given the benefit of a doubt...it's possible your tire valve stems are bad.

You need new spokes for your wheels. Replace the first and 3rd spokes and you should be set. This happened to me before.

Try a right handed wrench to tighten the valve stems. Then dance around your car 3 times, drink half a cup of steamed milk. Then swipe your ATM card down the crack of your azzzz, and that should make it work.......Maybe you should reconsider automobile ownership.

just try again, your probably holding the air nozzle to a very slight angle, which is cause it leak out.

And if that doesn’t help, ask the gas station clerk for help.

He should make sure his skirt is on straight before he goes to the clerk to ask for help with the air hose.
