Paranormal Tire
I have a 98 Civic HX with aluminum wheels.
I live in a formerly rural area where I don't believe anyone has tampered with my tires. Having stated the above, yesterday the right front tire lost pressure to about 15 psi overnight. I pumped it up this morning and it has held pressure so far. What could explain the loss of pressure? |

It's a "slow leak", and will be flat again tomorrow morning. -- "Bother!" said Pooh, as the condom ripped. |

The position of the tire, temperature, etc., could cause the tire to leak at only certain times. In addition, the nail could have been further driven into to tire, causing it to stop leaking. Jeff |

Also,AL wheels are subject to corrosion on the inside from moisture,possibly causing a bad bead seal,aggravated when the tire is left in a certain position. -- Jim Yanik jyanik at kua.net |
spray the threads on your tire with water and look carefully for bubbles and then you can find the nail or w/e it is:righton
