Hiya, I have recently bought a 7.5 tonne lorry and want to check the tyres as the nearside front looks like it needs a bit more air in it (the lorry had been sitting doing nothing for a year) Where do I go to pump up the tyre, a normal petrol garage or a service station with a HGV area?

Thank you!

I don't think the normal petrol station ones will go to a high enough pressure. Apologies if telling you things you know but if it has been sitting for a while, check the tryes for cracks as well as tread. Tyres on front of lorries have to be under a certain age now, can't be more than 10 years old.
