Tyre pressure question
Just wondering if it is normal for you guys to do your tyres very regularly, say once a week, as mine have all dropped a min of 4 psi max 7 psi in a week.
I don't drive like an idiot, and the front 2 tyres have been done recently (not by me) and the rear ones are still ok for a couple of thousand.
My old turbo I did once/twice a month after I got all 4 replaced but it didn't drop as much as these!
Thanks

I check mine every month or so, or just before a long trip. I would be concerned if they dropped 4psi over a month, so I would get them checked if they are dropping that much over a week tbh. Could be a faulty valve or something simple like that, could be worth getting them re-seated, new valves and re-balanced etc.

The little black box you see on the pic is under the tyre, 'inside' the wheel if you like, and then the valve just sticks out to the outside like normal.

I've heard that using nitrogen instead of normal air works better as pressure is more stable when temp varies. I think the last time i got tyres kwik fart was offering nitrogen fill instead for about £1 extra per wheel, which wasn't bad. I didn't notice the difference really as I don't track the car but you might bud
