Is the tyre going flat or is it staying hard but you could (for a while) hear air coming out while you pumped it up? If the latter don't worry - sometimes there's air between the tyre and the inner tube which has to go somewhere if the inner tube is pumped up. If the former you've got a flat

Thanks for the reply. Tyre was a bit soft but fine..brother-in-law..was trying to pump it up...and got it completely flat instead....(it's an american chair..imperial so a bit of messing around with connections)

brought it down to the garage...connections all good..but air coming out the rims..flat as apancake

You can still get around with a flat. It's annoying and you have to go slower than usual. Plus, it tends to scratch and nick the wheel. I've done it for a couple days before.
