Possibly the valve in the tyre is broken, could you try a couple of different pumps.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

tried the pumps in different petrol station... if the valve inside the tyre's broken, is it economical to fix the tyre or just simply replace the tyre? Thanks for the reply0

The valve can be replaced, but still the faff of removing the tyre and re-fitting it/re balancing.
Your call on if it's better to replace it, how worn is it that will be the deciding factor.0 -
You didn't buy your tyre of this guy did you? I saw on watchdog that there have been some problems with his stuff

it's a four year tyre but in very good conditions, i will try a number of pumps again and if it's still not working out, i think i'd go to costco for a tyre change then, thanks for everyone replied0

only if you have a good spare!!
try spraying some WD40 or soapy water onto the valve and carefully push the valve spindle in and out a few times,it may be stuck
or if you have a valve tool totally unscrew the valve spindle, clean and then replace and try thatI

If it's just a new inner valve piece required, it'll be pennies (if not free if you ask nicely)
A new valve complete would cost about a fiver fitted maximum.
What price is a new tyre? £50 or so?"Now to trolling as a concept. .... Personally, I've always found it a little sad that people choose to spend such a large proportion of their lives in this way but they do, and we have to deal with it." - MSE Forum Manager 6th July 20100 -
I wish my tyres would last for 4 years and were only £50!
£125 per corner, and I get around 18 months out the fronts and 24-30 months out the rears.
Yes the valve is only a few quid, but it's a good 15-30 minute job to do.
Cost of fitting is included in the price of the tyre usually, so the cost will be more than the part in this case.0 -
If the tyre is good and you're thinking of scrapping it just because of a faulty valve is almost the same as saying,'well i'll never get a puncture repaired'
I say this 'cos i have a slow puncture at the moment ands trying to decide, repair or replace.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
