hi all,any advice please one of my tyres loses about 3-4psi aday is there any quick solution thanks for any advice jim.

 

Chewing gum ?

 

Must have a small puncture. Have a look for offending object in tyre. I once had one that only went down 2 psi a week and it turned out to be a pin with the head ground off and I needed to put the wheel in the bath to find the bubbles. Just hope it is in the central area of tread so repair is possible. Usually £10-15 at local tyre service.

 

You could use an aerosol sealant but then you can't get the tyre repaired subsequently if you get another puncture.

 

Squirt some water with a little washing up liquid over the tyre and you will see a stream of bubbles if it is leaking.

 

It could be the actual alloy - had the same problem, took it to tire place - no leak! went home, week after it was down again, took it back - no ******* leak!! Turned out the tire didn't grip the alloy as it should, he said it's quite a common problem. ended up getting a new tire due to a blow out - all sorted now!

 

agreed with all the above, but would like to add that sometimes the valves are faulty.

best get yourself some new wheels AND tyres just to be sure :-)
