I noticed that my tire was getting flat at my aunt townhouse in nephi Utah. so I took it to the maverick gas station to get a better look at it and investigate the possibility of a leak in it put some air in it and then enough to make it rise and I leaned in close to listen to see if I can hear a leak and I could hear a sound, but I couldn’t locate it and right when I was about to give up and actually move my head away from my tire.
