I've had some problems recently with my new tires. For reference they are 215/45 Falken Ziex ZE-512s mounted on 17x7 rims. So Saturday night I am driving where there are some bad roads but I didn't think of it because I took them nice and slow. Next day I get up and notice one of my tires is flat. I check the tire pressure and it doesn't even register, 0 psi I guess. I'm pissed because these tires are a week and a half old, but I figure I'll go fill it up and see how quickly the pressure drops. I check the tire pressure in 4 hours and its dropped 2 psi. Not too bad. So I put the rim back on and I proceed to play with the suspension a bit. Now its Monday morning, and I just checked the pressure and its still only down by 2 psi. I'm wondering whats going on. Is the tire leaking or what?
Thanks in advance, pete |

I dont know what the weather is like there but believe it or not it can cause tire preasure to go down. If you have cold nights and hot days it can cause you to loose tire preasure. I dont think it would cause it loose all the preasure but you never know.
