Issue: Driver's rear loses air daily.

SHORT STORY:
Driver's rear loses 20 PSI often. Bought new tires. Driver's rear still leaks. Switched wheels around, driver's rear still leaks. Had this checked out at Discount Tire Co and the dealership. The dealership claims "someone is f'ing with you."

LONG STORY:
So I got new tires about 1 1/2 months ago.
The reasons for getting new tires are:
1. The obvious: tread looking pretty dull at 25,000 miles.
2. 4 nails in one tire (driver's rear).

I didn't know about the nails until I brought my tire to the dealer's to have it looked at. What I did know was that I was having to fill up with air at least once a week.

The dealer found 4 nails in my driver's rear tire? 4 nails? Convincing enough to get new tires and get rid of having the burden of filling up once a week.

Got new tires (Falken RT615's) with new TPMS. Problem solved? No. I was still filling up on air...on the same side, driver's rear. Keep in mind the other tires (both old and new) never lost any significant amount of air, while driver's rear still is losing 20-30 PSI, at almost every 2-3 days now.

So I stopped by Discount Tire Co and had them look at my tire. Nothing found. Checked for leaks, no issue found. They even switched my rear tires: driver's rear went to passenger's rear, and vice versa.

Still the same issue. Driver's rear.

Went about 2 weeks doing the usual routine, and finally decided to stop by the dealer's today since I had the time. Told them the whole story. They checked my tires: no leaks. "Someone's f'ing with you. Buy a surveillance camera."

So...what the hell is going on here? Can I associate what's going on with my tire with the accident a couple months back which damaged driver's rear?

Long story, thanks for reading...hopefully I can get this issue resolved.

 

bent rim?

 

Surveillance camera FTW!!!

You'll find out it's the neighbor's dog chewing on the valve stem

























Light humor on a sunday morning, good luck

 

Ditto...maybe bad valve stem

 

^But he said he switched wheels around and yet the driver side still leaks? That would take any and all bent wheel, faulty valve stem, hole in tire factors out of the equation. Dude, someone is messing with you. You on bad terms with anyone in your neighborhood? If you can't find out who it is, just do what they do in prison; beat the hell out of some random person, and everyone else will think you're crazy and leave you alone. Problem solved.

 

If you switched wheels/tyres then I can't see it being anything else other than someone ****ing with you.

 

I can't agree that someone's f'ing with me.

There are times when I would be out in a different city for a whole day and I would still lose air.

Unless this person has that much hate toward me.

And yeah, I had my whole wheel moved left to right and right to left. Never moved JUST the rubber.

I'll get my tires rotated back to front and see what happens, as I haven't done this with my new tires yet.

Thanks for the replies.

 

i know this is a old thread but did anyone else ever experience this? because it happens to me as well. and it even happened to me when i use my winter rim/wheels and my summer rim/wheels... no one could ever find the problem...

 

someone must've been f'in with him, how do you get 4 nails in one tire... that's like impossible.
