well, I don't know how the problem developed, but in the past week it has eventually gotten worse to the point where it's about half-flat this morning. I filled air up yesterday and drove about 150mi. but didn't notice a change in pressure till overnight.

Is there anyway I can patch this from the OUTSIDE or some sort of product that could help w/o dismounting the tire? I am planning to change all my tires by the end of the month... please, any help would be much appreciated.

if you're not keeping the tires long then try using a plug. pick up the kit at any auto parts store...just don't use the reamer.

Try a can of Fix a Flat. That is how a cured a slow leak on my Acura. But I think it throw off the balance, so I stuck it in the back. Buying new tires whne winter comes.
