Hey Everyone
i recently purchased a 2017 prestige q7 driven 52k

recently I noticed that the front right tire is losing air pressure, I refilled it once using the compressor just in case it was a gradual thing but the air pressure was lost after 100 kms again (it’s not flat yet but considerably less air)

Would I need to get this tire replaced or can flat run tires be repaired as well? I’m planning to go a tire shop over the weekend but wanted to get an idea What should I be expecting

thanks in advance!

Get it repaired. The tire shop will find the leak and patch it up.

I've had a run flat tire patched before without any issues at Discount Tire, they just won't do it if the puncture is along the sidewall or close to the sidewall like with any tire.

Thank you for responding!

I just got back from the tire shop and they mentioned that the puncture is along the edge of the tire so l I’ll essentially need to buy 2 tires.

I’m wondering if using the sealant that I got with the car can fix the puncture along the edge in this case or should I get the tire replaced in case sealant can’t fix punctures along the edge as well?

If it's that green goo, I wouldn't use it. Did the tire shop show you exactly where the puncture was???? It may not be as close to the edge as he makes you believe and you can "plug it" yourself.
