Spotting a slow puncture is very simple when you know what to look for, there are a few things you should look for if you think you have a slow puncture. In this article, we will go through the different things you should keep an eye out for!


Firstly, the biggest factor is if your car is pulling to either the left or the right. If you are driving on a flat road, relax the grip of your steering wheel and if you notice that your vehicle is pulling to either side, that could indicate that you have a slow puncture in one of your tyres. If that does happen get your car checked by a professional and get your tyre replaced. 

If the issue is left and ignored it will cause huge amounts of damage to your wheel, causing you much more costs in damages and possibly creating a dangerous situation on the road!

 

The second sign to look for is vibration, another sign of a slow puncture is vibrations coming from your steering wheel. When a tyre loses air, it can cause your wheel to become unbalanced, which will cause your steering wheel to vibrate when you are driving. Your steering wheel vibrating is not a definite sign of having a slow puncture but it could be a good indicator of it.


Lastly, if you drive your car daily and you see a change in responsiveness or the handling of the car not feeling the same, check the tyre pressure to make sure you do not have a slow puncture.


If you follow these simple tips you will make sure no slow puncture will get passed you and you will be able to take care of it before it causes more damage to your wheels.
