Tire Pressure Loss

Hey guys,

Wondering if anyone can help me on this issue...My rear right tire goes from 34psi to ~22 psi in about 4-5 days...but it doesn't go flat.

I have tried dismounting and remounting the tire with new valve stems, but the same thing happens.

It does not appear that there is a nail...anyone have any other thoughts to the cause of this?

Thanks.

put it in water and see if any bubble come up...

Also try the Tire/wheel section ... you should get more help there...



EDIT: By The way not the sale section, the tire question section

A hair line crack in your rim could be the reason.

Just because you don't see anything in the tire doesn't mean there isn't a small puncture some where so as stated before take the tire off and if you can't submerge the tire in water just get a bucket of soapy water and spread it around the tire and if you have a leak it will start blowing bubbles and then dry it and make not of the spot with a grease pencil or some thing else.

You will lose a little air pressure when you start having drastic temperature changes but it won't happen all of the time.

Something is wrong with your valve. If it drops from 30's to 20's and still doesnt go flat that means you valve has gone bad and lets air pass throgh. Its not able to handle that pressure and stablizes itself at 20's.
So go to the dealer and get that replaced and seee is that helps.

the valve stem has been replaced so I don't think that is the issue...but I will try submerging the tire at like 45psi.

air loss

remove the valve cap and put a little soapy water on it to eliminate it as a possibility, also around the base of the stem to check for spider cracks in the rim
