My apologies if this is off topic. I could not find a spot to put it.
My problem is as follows. Some time back, I had purchased a Big Red
Wagon from Northern tools. It has 4 pneumatic tires and good load
capacity. Over the years, It has served me well.
The problem is that one of the pneumatic tires has gone flat, but
without a puncture. This has happened once over the winter time, and
after many attempts at trying to reinflate the tire, I gave up. I
bought a brand new one for $25 USD, but it strikes me that there must
be some way to reinflate the tire. It must have been done when
manufactured!!
As it is, I have a tubeless tire with a a broad gap across the tire to
the rim -- I cannot detemine a method to manipulate it so I can get the
air to stay in and for it to seal up against the hub. Anyone have an
idea? I would like to avoid buying a new tire again.

I had the same problem and fought with it for 2 days without success.
I took it down to a local tire shop and he had it fixed in a couple of
minutes and charged $5. Money well spent!
I took my wheelbarrow tire to a shop that does small engine/lawnmower
repairs and he didn't charge me anything for one minute of labor. Now
I know where to take my lawnmower if it needs work.
