so i had a slow leak in one of my brand new tires, it lost about 10psi a week. i kept putting it off and putting it off filling it up every week or so. then one day on my way to school it blows out on me. ruining the sidewall.

So i buy another tire and replace that one....not even a week later the same thing happens with a different tire on a different rim.

do i just have incredibly bad luck, or is there something i am missing.

please help me because i have had about enough of my cars crap right now.

 

You need to find the leak. Spray the tire with water and dish soap so it bubbles when you find the leak. Chances are good that you need a new valve stem, not a new tire.

 

Falkore beat me to it. Mix water and dish soap together in a spray bottle. Remove the wheel from your car. Spray the soapy water solution all over that sucker. You will find the leak in no time. The soapy water will cause it to bubble like crazy wherever the leak is. You won't be able to miss it.

 

i just find it odd that within 2 weeks i got 2 flat tires on different rims and different tires....

and i'm assuming the sidewall is ruined on the second flat tire like it was on the first...........so i think i'm calling it quits with these rims cause they are too heavy.

time to buy some nice 15 or 16s

 

i had the same problem with my 18's i will never do that again...........luuckly u stopped at 2 i stopped i think at 5 tires.........im so dum..........

 

You sure some punk is not sabotaging your tires?

 

never had a problem with leaks on my 19s when i had an m3.

i would guess it was the install.

 

brought it to tire warehouse today, they said it was because the rim was bent............but its been bent for as long as I can remember

 

so what's your solution?

 

well they did a pretty good job of pounding the bend out, and got the tire back on and it holds air and everything.

still wouldnt mind selling them and buying lighter rims............just dont know if its in the budget
