Gas Snowblower: What should I do about a damaged snowblower tire?
If your snowblower's tire has a slow leak, try pumping up the tire with air; it might stay inflated long enough for you to clear the snow. You might even be able to get away with that approach until spring. But if the tire won't stay inflated, you have to repair or replace it. Also check the rim of the snowblower tire and replace the rim if it's damaged.
