Tire Losing Air
Posted by Tim on July 6, 2006
I have low profile tires on my Mercedes sedan. I had a tire that was losing air, so I bought a new one. Now that one is losing air. Is this the nature of low profile tires and rims or do I possibly have a burr or something?
When you had the new tire put on, did they use the same valve stem? Maybe it isn't the tire at all. Take the Mercedes to a tire store with a large tank of water to submerse the tire/wheel. The technician should be able to check for bubbles and determine where the air is coming out.
