    Default my tyers keep going flat what do u think

    my front 2 tyers keep going flat, ive been to the same joint 3 times to get them resealsed but it does crap. if i had my recipet which i dont.. the only one i dont have id throw there dodgey tyers back atm...i never had this issues to i had my wheel aligment and new tyers put on...

    the tyers of before i got this done never went down..

    though i had an episode where i had to drive on my rims just about.. for 50m's had no choice drove down the street and the f's went down.. do u think there buckled and could be casuing this??

    then again when i get them resealed wouldnt the tyer place be able to tell me that??

    would another casue be having the car sit there not moving alot do this??

    i pump them up everday without a doubt..

    ps. if u seen my latest project pics, u can see the fronts are starting to go down once again....

    Check your rims for cracks, although it would be weird for 2 to crack at the same time (unless you've launched up a gutter head on recently)

    I doubt its som1 doing it every night...

    spit on the valves and look for bubbles.

    but it sounds like you have a dodgey set of tyers when they put them on.
    Just my 2 cents worth...

    I would get tubes put in, not expensive and use metal valve caps, there may be pinhole leaks in tyres or cracks in wheels
    were the tyres put on properly, being forced fully over the safety humps? if not leaks could result

    Put soapy water around the beads, valve and base of valve stem. If its leaking from those locations you will see bubbles. If not its the tyres that are leaking.
