Your tire has a hole, but you don't know how to find it?
Before having it repaired, you need to know where the air is escaping from.
Here is a foolproof trick to easily discover where the hole is hiding.
All you need is a sponge and some washing-up liquid.

If you have a tire that's losing air, but you can't find a nail/screw/hole, here's the trick:
1. Fill the tire with air to the maximum.
2. Remove the tire from the car.
3. Run a sponge dampened with dishwashing liquid over the tire. Bubbles will appear where there is a hole on the tire.
There you go, you have easily found the hole in your tire :-)
Practical, easy and efficient!
If the hole is in the middle of the tire (like here in the photo), you can have it repaired for cheap.
If the hole is on the sides, bad luck, it might cost more to repair.
