Hi all Good one this ...

Standard UK 15 inch alloy wheel ..... has anyone heard of one being pourous ?? I know years back some alloys used to be terrible for it.. but I've had this tyre checked twice for punctures, dodgy valves etc but it still drops from 32psi down to 15psi in 2 weeks Only thing left is the alloy

Any one through any light on the subject ?

Subaru 15" alloys have had a problem with being porous. See the FAQ at

 

Kev,

I've got a stack of 15" wheels in my garage. They haven't reduced in pressure, although my dealer did say it was a problem.

Mine have lost about 2-3psi after sitting in a garage for about 8 months!

Had to use them recently, but you're more than welcome just to take them off me!!!

Thanks Both ....


It's gonna be a warranty job if anything Andy but thanx for the offer of the wheels, I'll wait for the pending service me thinks ....

Not to sure I like the " have to repaired and it takes months " bit on the faq

cheers both

As the car is out of warranty and I have loads of 15's taking up workshop space... you can have one of my spares for free

Call me on 01268 590085

Cheers Pete ...

I'll try and call you tomorrow (Wed) night for a chat and arrange something.

Thanks
