WTB ONE 275/30 tire (preferably a Falken)

Hey guys,

So, the local luck seems to be contagious...(thanks A LOT Blake!! ) I went out to my car tonight and my rear left tire didn't look quite right. It wasn't totally flat, but it had very little tire pressure.

I went to fill it up (filled to about 37 psi) and when I got home, I stuck my head down next to the tire and I could faintly hear air escaping. Sure enough, it was already down to 34 psi. DAMN!

So, does anyone have a single 275/30 tire? I have Falken Azenis on right now.

Thanks!

Did you find the leak? This happened to me a few weeks ago when I had my new Hankooks installed on the front. Turned out the guy that installed em didn't seat my valve stem properly. I gave it a gentle tug, and it was fixed.

I can't figure out where the leak is, but i can hear it. I'm gonna take it up to jeramya tonight.

After checking all of them this morning, my front left one is leaking too. It's not as severe, but it lost 10 psi overnight. The right two are both fine. I'm so confused haha.

Just soap them both up really good. The leak will grow bubbles.. Tons of them. Let us know if there's something wrong with the wheels, I'm trying to wheel and deal a set of the 10 spoke 3.3.2's, but not if they're gonna be problems.

I highly doubt that the varrstoens are to blame. I have heard nothing but great things from other owners and the packaging that they came shipped in was top notch. If anything, I would suspect the tires since I got them used.

I never followed up in this thread, but the bead was torn (happened prior to install...Discount tore it up when taking it off of the other wheels). So, the tire is junk. A tire with about 1000 miles on it is nothing but a heap of rubber. Fail. I won't be mounting or unmounting tires at Discount ever again.

Thanks for the help T. Let me know what you hear.
