Tubeless tires never go flat when you are driving. Only when you stop. (Unless it’s a blow-out).

You need to have a battery powered pump, maybe 60 dollars. Pump up a flat and drive to gas station.

You can also fix tubeless tires without removing them. 10 dollar kit and 3 minute tutorial…..

Thanks Jim...I need one of those spray can tyre repair things I think...it worked well once before! I just thought I was oh-so clever just taking the wheel off and dropping it off at the garage to get it fixed...until the damn thing was rusted/glued on (the dust here dries like cement!). Hope all's well and thanks for the top tips!

Have you tried walloping the wheel with a large hammer?
