TPMS alert

Agent-GHQ · 03-09-2015, 01:07 PM

I'm a weekend driver and I've been getting that low tire pressure every single week! Low tire pressure from the same tire on the rear-right. I checked the tire pressure with a pressure guage and it shows 25 psi, so I put air to the recommended pressure of 36psi. This is repetitive and becoming a nuisance!!! 😡

I've also checked for any nails or punctured, but not that I can see. Anyone with this issue that can shed some light on how to fix this dilemma??

I experience a similar problem in all of my vehicles typically when there is a big fluctuation in weather temperature. (Why I did not put much faith in the New England Patriot "Deflate-Gate," . . . but, that is a different discussion.)

Just to be safe, take the tire into a shop to have them take a look.

Take the tire off...fill it with air 36 or even a lil more...coat the tire and valve stem with soapy water and look for bubbles

you probably have a very slow leak due to a pin hole sized puncture that you can't see from the outside.
