Yeah, doing my own oil changes (for two cars) is like the only thing I've been doing. Any other thing, I've been putting it off.

House/Kid/Wife/Work......I need 48 hours in a day.

 

I know you said you checked the bead area on the outside, but you may want to check the inside. I have the chrome X rims and they are peeling/corroded pretty bad on the inside. I had a leak on mine that I couldn't find until the rim came off. The bead wasn't sealing on the inside. My problem also happened after getting the tires replaced.

^ This.

I had the split spoke chrome rims and they were peeling badly when I bought new tires.
The tire shop told me about it but installed the tires anyways so they wouldn't lose a sale.
I bought new rims and switched the tires over but I still have this problem.

Svence do you still have the chrome rims?

 

Still have the chrome for now. I'm on day two after cleaning the rim and it seems to be holding air.

OK here's the verdict. It was the inner bead. I had them rebuilt the tpms while they were at it. Hopefully its all good now. Thanks for all your help.

 

Probably had some dirt or something around the bead that wasn't allowing it to seat properly so you had a slow leak. Hopefully that fixes things though.

 

yeah it had alot of gunk/junk around the bead after they took the tire off

 

One of my Goodyear EAGLE GT's has a slow leak too. Had the tire taken off and re-mounted only to come out with the same result.

 

The tires were on there for almost 3 yrs with no leak. I think the mechanic did a good and clean job mounting it today. They even use torque sticks to mount the wheels. First time that I've seen it at any tire shop.

 

^ most tire store chains require it now.

Yea most tires over time have weird cake build up. I had to take care of 2 recently. They just angle grinder the build up. Shouldn't be a problem anymore.

 

Had you done what I suggested how long ago, any tire shop could have found the leaks and you may not have had to buy the sensor rebuild kits. Were all three (3) tires leaking from the bead? Making suggestions for some of our members is like watching a monkey f^ck a football....Gary

 

Update: after a few weeks

I still noticed one of the tire is leaking about 2 psi a week. Another 1 is about 1 psi a week. Then there are two that are perfectly normal since I came back from the shop. Those two tires didn't lose anything.

The weather has been pretty cold recently. Car is always in garage. Outside at night in the 20s so garage is prob in the 40s. Losing 1 or 2 psi a week is that normal? I guess 1 is but 2?

 

Your gonna lose psi in cold weather. I'm in NY and last night was below zero. Woke up this morning got into my jeep and the display showed low tire pressure. Lost 3 psi in one night.

 

But then what's weird is there are two tires that didn't lose anything for almost 3 weeks.

 

go to America tire co if you have one near there.
I work at one and trust me, you can visually inspect a tire, and say this isn't leaking and then you put it in a tank of water and you say the tiniest bubbles.

or any other tires shop. tell them to put 40 psi in the tires then have put them in the water tank. they'll be able to tell where it's leaking from
