front driver tyre keep losing pressure

Post by zuihoujueding »

Not sure what is the cause. did not see any visible puncture marks. My mate blame on the side wall. now that all tyre shops are closed. Does the green product "slime" solve my problem?

always pump my tyres to 34psi and it dropped to 26psi in matter of days.

check the front cam seal for leaks, possibly hitting the tire causing a hole, also a common problem with tyres losing pressure

Tyre beed to wheel is not sealing right. $20.00 bucks to do and they will replace the valve.

Slow leak for sure...spray some soap water around the rim and rubber profile...formation of bubble indicates leakage...though if it's really a small leak on the tyre...and it's those cheap Falcon brand one, just buy new one...unless you got a Pirelli or Bridgestone Potenza!!! If it's around the rim, sure bet is get it repaired...

Found a small nail and fixed the hole for $20.
next day found a another small nail on the other front tire.
Went back and got fixed for free.
