About 3-4 weeks ago one of my tyres suddenly (over night) went flat to around 10 psi. I took it to the local tyre place and had it whipped off for a look. There were no signs of a puncture. The chap did the usual blow it back up and drop it in the water thing – again no signs of air escaping Anyway, I put it down to kids or sommat letting the air out. The tyre has been fine for 3-4 weeks and has now done the overnight thing again!!!!!

Any guesses????

The car was parked in another town completely from before, so the chances of it being some dick letting it down on purpose are very slim.

possibly something in the tyre itself like small nail, only leaks when parked on certain part of the tyre

I had the same thing.

It turned out that when the previous tyre was levered off, the prybar they used took a nick out of the alloy where the tyre bead seats on the inside of the rim.
Whenever it was parked on that bit, the tyre would flex enough to let the air seep out of the little nick.

Solved it by removing the tyre, and then sanding any marks out of the inside of the rim. Painful to watch, but it did the trick.

I'm thinking it's down to the condition of my wheels, so what you say could ring true
They're in for refurbishment within the next few weeks so hopefully that will solve it

Had same problem, every week was having to check OSR turned out to be a dirty inner rim which was cleaned by fitter using big drill with wire brush attachement, did the job nicely!
