Air always coming outta my tires.

I constantly have to reair them. I always see the low tire pressure light show up.

Hmmm maybe you should go to your local shop and have them check for leaks...

chances are the tire wasn't seated fully when they mounted them on the rim

take it back to where you got em and they will do it no charge

Hey Tiger, visit your local tire shop and have them find where the leaks are by submerging them in their water tank. I had this on my first set of Volks, one of the stickers inside was too close to the lip causing the tire not to seat properly. Took all of 15 minutes to find and correct this issue. From a PIA to Life is Good in only 15 minutes....

Possible leaks

1. inproper seating of tire on rim
2. faulty valve stem
3. bad tire
4. bent rim

hope its the one of the 1st 2 for an easy fix.

All these possibilities can be identified and corrected by submerging the tire/wheel in a water tank. This process with show exactly where the leak is so it can be fixed. You can guess all day as to what might be the problem but there's only one way to find it.......water. LOL

tpms sensors are probably corroded. check for leaks on the valve core, as well as where the sensor nut meets the wheel. happens all the time at work.

4 would suck.. had that on my older car. A 1998 Lexus ES300. Didn't want to bother spending money on it so I'd just get one of those you know those squeeze bottles where if you have a small leak in the tire it'll just cover it and fix it for awhile. Had to empty a bottle of those like once every year or 2 years. It worked and the tire didn't leak anymore for that time which was good lol.
