Leak?

Hey guys,


Today, my brother noticed my drivers side rear tire was flat or low on pressure, and we checked ourselves to see if it was a nail, glass etc, and we seem to come up with nothing. It's a slow leak because I didn't even freaking notice! Well, i can't think of what it could be, unless its a valve stem leak, or the tire was never mounted on right! but, if it wasn't mounted on right, wouldn't it leak faster? so i need some help! should i bring it to some tire place down my street? they only work on tires and mounting etc. (walnut grove and valley blvd) 626 area!


or what should i do?


my settings are as...


245/35/19 9.5 front and rear 275/35/19 10.5

thanks guys!

It may be a slow leak. The best way to find it is to mix up some soap and water, fill up the tire and soap it down.

from your sig looks like you have volks. i actually had to do this yesterday after washing the car. i heard some hissing coming out of the valve stem while cleaning the wheels. the rubber bewteen the wheel and the stem has loosened. take it down to the tire shop and they will take the wheel off and will use an allen wrench to tighten the stem. problem solved.

hope this helps

Oh man I figured out the problem and it was nothing but the service was horrible.


The problem was a slow link due to the tires no being fitted on right.


Then I noticed that they put the lugnut on wrong from the first time (they were the only ones to touch my rims and tires) so the stud tread is messed up, and the lugnut is messed up. So, they didn't even offer to fix it for me, I ask well can you do something about it, he goes yea, pay me 80 bucks and i can fix it for you, with this idiotic face, pissed me off, i said forget it. Then i go get the parts (brand new stud) and some tuner lugs, and go home. Me and my brother noticed the stud from the first lugnut which is the drivers rear is still okay to hold another lug but just the lugnut itself was messed up. As my brother is just looking at my car he notices the passanger side rear wheel lugs weren't all put in correctly. So by looking at this, I assumed they just rushed me out, and put the very last lug on there all fast an ruined it. Not only did they ruin it, they ruined the stud (luckily i purchased an extra stud @per nissan in duarte) and me and my brother changed it at our house and everything seems to be fine, but they honestly screw up the walls of my rims, pissed me off pretty badly.
