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 |

On my vette, I discovered I had a bad valve stem. You might pour some soapy water around the stem and see if it might be leaking.
