    A tire pressure light comes on your dashboard while you are driving. You are not sure what that light means, so you pull over to the side of the road, and you look up the meaning of the flashing light. You read online that that light means that your tire pressure is low and you are in the process of getting a flat tire which means that you will need to get a tire repair in the near future. You realize that you are nowhere near an auto repair shop and you have read that driving on a flat tire will only make the situation worse. Now you are stuck and don’t know what to do next. Here are three steps of what to do next after you have discovered a flat tire.

    Inspect the Tire

    After you have pulled over to the side of the road or to the nearest gas station, you need to inspect the tire to see where the air is coming out of and how big the hole is. If the hole in the tire is small, then you may be able to save your tire by getting the hole plugged. If the hole is too big for the tire to get plugged, then you may have to come out of pocket to receive a whole new tire. The only way that you can really see what happened to the tire is to fully remove the tire off of the car.

    Replace the Damaged Tire with a Spare

    No matter how small the puncture may be on the tire, it was big enough to have the pressure decrease so now the damaged tire has to be replaced with a spare until you get to an auto shop to receive a tire repair. The spare tire is not a permanent replacement tire. It is only to be used until you are able to get your tire fixed. If you do not know how to take a tire off of your car and put a spare on, there are videos, guides, and tutorials online that you can utilize to help with this process. You would need certain tools to help as well.  

    Putting the Spare onto the Car

    Majority of the cars that are on the road today has a spare tire in the trunk for situations like this. Some people call the spare tire a “doughnut.” The doughnut may have distance and speed limitations on it so be sure to pay attention. Some cars may come equipped with a tire repair kit. If you are lucky enough to have both things, then you are heading in the right direction. Like it has been mentioned above, once you have discovered those items, you can follow either the guides, videos, or tutorials on what to do next.

    Having anything terrible happen to your car is unfortunate especially if you are alone. With these three steps, you should be able to assess the damage and be back on the road in no time.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
