Why are my tires losing pressure so fast
Ive noticed about a month ago that i would lose about 4-5psi of pressure in my front tires and 2-3psi pressure in the back every two weeks, is this normal? I usually pump the tires up to 36psi in the front and 34psi in the back. These are not new tires or rims, havent had any accidents, and all tires lose pressure not only 1 or two. Im not sure if its the weather. Could it be that half the week its parked in my garage and not being driven? im really stumped any suggestions would be helpful, thanks.

VERY VERY small leakage. what i do at work is use big tank of water and run the wheel and tire in it and look for bubblies. sometimes, i find that mud and dirt gets trapped where the bead of the tire meets the wheel.

Regardless, you can still do the same checks mentioned in that thread, with either soapy water or take it to a tire shop and they can dunk them in a tank. A leak this slow might be hard to find, but it shouldn't be there if everything is okay. Most tires I've had lose VERY little pressure.... others with wheel problems lost more air than what you describe.

if the trouble percists when it gets warmer, (I believe) most tire shops will patch up a tire for ~$15. I had my rear passenger would lose about 10 PSI a week, I kept filling it up and was going to get new toyo proxes 4s int he new year, but someone told me I should get it checked out, went was told there were 3 nails in my tire, and one was very very close to destroying the whole tire.
