That is understood but have you found out why the tyre cannot be pumped at the ESSO kiosk in the first place..I think lots of ppl would like to know.

 

cause they say the tire is totally flat,u will need to lift up the tire from the ground then u can slowly pump in air

If your tire had been totally flat before, it may be difficult to inflate it again because the tire's edge has deformed and is not "seating" properly against the edge of the rim anymore. So, when the air goes in to the valve, it will immediately leaks out from the tire's edge. You will have to lift the whole wheel above the ground and try to smooth out any bulging of the tire. Thereafter, you should be able to inflate again, provided the tire can still retain its original shape.

 

If you go to the motorshop, they'll ask you to change to a new tire altogether because that's the way they will make money.

 

Exactly as I'd said before because I experienced the same thing myself previously. But I learned the hard way because I was conned by the motorshop to change to a new tire.
