Question

I have noticed over the past few weeks that my rear tyres looked
a bit flat but when I have noticed I have always been parked in a dip or on a Kerb so I have put it down to that. Got round to checking the pressures tonite N/S rear 8 psi O/S rear 9 psi
fronts fine.
do you think someone has let them down or could there be another
explination?
slow punctures? but in both rears? loosing almost the same pressure?

Cheers guys

Stu.

Mine have been going down so every 4-5 days i need to pump 'em up a bit. I put it down to my alloys being "square" and as a result the trye doesn't seal properly.
Have you hit or been over any mad bumps or pot holes lately? Mine started doing it after driving through a trench that hadn't been filled in properly, 20-30mph, 1 inch lip, tha-thud, tha-thud, four square wheels thank you!

I suppose the only way to totally rule it out is to go and get your wheels looked at by a garage.

If you have the time and you do, let me know what the cause is/was.

Take em off the car and pump em up to around 50 psi.
Then mix fa!ry liquid and water and pour over the tyre and around the rim.
Any leaks should show as bubbles (fa!ry helps this).
Also pour some on the valve (take cap off) as it may have come loose.

Edited to say - don't forget to reduce the pressure b4 sticking em back on the car
