Asked by Tesla
What is a logical way that you could begin to investigate why your tire had low air pressure?
Look to see if there is a hole in the tire.
Feel the tire for air escaping from it.
Place the bike in a warm location to see if the tire pressure increases.
Apply an outside pressure to the tire and listen for air escaping from the tire.

Good choices are 1, 2 and 4.
- Look for a hole — a visual inspection can often reveal a puncture, cut or embedded object.
- Feel/listen for escaping air — put your ear close to the tire or run your hand along it to detect a leak.
- Applying pressure to the tire can force air through a small leak and make it easier to hear or feel.
Placing the bike in a warm location is not a useful first diagnostic — temperature changes slightly affect tire pressure (PV = nRT) but won’t identify a puncture and could mask the real problem.
