I have a flat tire on my riding lawn mower. It’s off the rim about a inch. I’m not sure what I need to do to fix it. It’s one of the back tires.

    first it probably came off the rim from low air. you need to fix the leak first. you need to remove the tire from the machine,take the tire off the rim with a screw diver(being careful not to poke the tube) this should be easy as it’s already coming off.fill the tube with air and hold under water in the sink. patch kits are available at hdwre stores or circle k. after repair or if tube is not flat to start you need to release air and push tire back in place with fingers until it gets tough then use regular screwdriver to finish. fill with air. easier to take to tire repair 4or 5$ good luck.

    Take it to a shop, it prob needs replaced if it has fallen off…just take it to an auto center like auto zone

    Take a ratcheting down strap, put it around the tire and tighten it down, this SHOULD put the beads up against the rim.. then fill it up some…. though you’d be better off using a tube. But if you can get it back on, try some SLIME tire sealant, unless its a big gash, it seals the holes good.

    You need to take off the wheel and take it to a tire dealers who will repair it for you. pain in the rear to do it yourself.
