Tyre problems

[JayCunningham74]

Evening all, new to the forum to hello first up!

Secondly I purchased a 2013 Audi Q5 2.0 TDi 177 Quattro S-Line Plus S-Tronic in Jan, love the car BUT seem to be having a mare with tyres. 

Got 2 total flats in the space of 2 weeks (different tyres), first one I got fixed and the second one today. 

As the car was at home I attempted to fix, I inflated the spare master several times but each time it kept inflating with the tyre hanging well over the rim and not even. Has anyone else experienced this and have a work around? Tried checking on YouTube but just lots of videos and it's supposed to work 

Thanks Jamie

Hi Jamie

I'm surprised the spare was flat....has the car been serviced lately, as this should have been checked?

If it's been deflated for some time then it may need to warm up to regain it's shape, if it won't inflate, then it sounds like a new tyre needed.

Let us know how you get on with it

Cheers   Trevor

Thanks Trevor, the spare is one of the space masters but I've recently found out you need to inflate it to 51PSI to get the proper shape!  I've now managed to get this sorted ok and I'm up and running. 

Thank you again for replying.
