Does a car tire weigh more with air or the same when its flat and tire is on a rim?
The chemical signature for air is H20, or 2 parts Hydrogen and 1 part Oxygen. As each of these elements has mass, even in a gaseous state, the short answer is that air weighs 0.070 lbs oer cubic foot. So at one atmosphere of 14.7 PSI (that is the pressure of the air around us) when the tire is flat, if you knew the volume of the tire, you could compute the weight of the air in the tire. Now, if the tire were inflated to 26 PSI, it would be at 1.77 atmosphere, so the weight of the air in the tire when inflated would more than when it is flat. No, H2O is the chemical signature for WATER. Otherwise the answer would be correct.

Why is the force on the steering greater when the tire is flat?
There is more surface area contact between the road and the flat tire translating into more friction between the two surfaces, which increases the amount of force required to change direction.
How do you do a tire repair on a flat tire?
To repair a flat tire you first need to remove the tire from the rim. Once removed inspect the tire for the damager and repair the puncture.

How much more does the air in a tire weigh at full psi compared to when the tire is empty?
Exactly the same -
How do you fix a run-flat tire?
Run-flat tires usually can not be fixed. The tires are usually $100 more than because they contain more rubber on the sidewalls & surface so they can run flat, therefore it they usually can not be repaired or plugged for safety reasons. For more information, call your local tire center. (Note: do not mix run-flats with non-run flat tires.)
