Flats in Colorado Springs often come from debris on I-25, potholes after winter or a slow leak that shows up on a cold morning. Book a tire change in the Hopper app and a driver comes to put your spare on.
On Powers or Academy Boulevard, pull into a side street or a lot if you can do it slowly. It gives the driver room to work away from traffic.
Gravel and debris on roads toward the foothills and on the edges of town are a common cause of punctures in Colorado Springs. If you've been on a gravel road and notice a slow leak, get to pavement before stopping.
What to expect
A tire change means a driver comes to your car and swaps the flat for your spare. Before you book, check that you have a spare and that it holds air, and look for the wheel lock key if your wheels use locking lug nuts. If you're on a busy road, turn on your hazards and wait somewhere safe away from traffic, not beside the car.
A tip for Colorado Springs drivers
Temperatures can drop sharply overnight here. That is hard on batteries and lowers tire pressure, so check both as the seasons change.
