My Tyre isnt pumping at petrol station

[dranzer01]

I have gone to a petrol station to pump up my car tyre. When I add the air nozzle to my tyre, it doesn't make that 'sssssss' sound, in fact there is no sound at all.

When I add the air nozzle to all my other car tyres, the 'sssssss' sound is there and thus, my tyres get inflated.

I have no idea why my car tyre isnt accepting the air, or what has happened to the nozzle on the tyre itself. To me it looks fine, but I'm no expert.....?

Any ideas on this

have you tried pushing the centre pin of the schrader valve in, this should produce a hiss of air as the valve is opened, its possibly stuck for some reason or the pin isn't high enough for the air line fitting to open it...that hiss you usually hear is that pin being pushed down as you connect said air line.
Its also possible the garage air line fitting is faulty and no pushing the pin in as you connect, does it work on the other tyres? forget that works on the rest.

I'd pop round to a tyre bay, where they'll either put a new shrader vale into the existing valve or, more likely, i would, fit a complete new valve.
If you have valve sensor TPMS this could be a more involved or expensive issue.

Is the tyre on the car already a million PSI?
