you know what Eric, I just had another flat-tire. it's the same tire again, the low tire information came on..and it's driving me crazy!! went back to the same gas station to add air and now it's ok again. i can't believe I have to add air on my tires twice everyday.
what could be wrong here?

its either you have a bent rim or its not balanced correctly. my brothers prelude doees that sound i believe your talking about and its because of his bent rim = off balanced.. but since the rim is new i guess maybe it isnt balanced correctly or you need some hub centric rings possibly?
^^^^^^^^^ get your tire checked for any punctures.. take off the rim and dump it in a bucket of water and find where the leak is coming from.. follow the bubbles! lol
EDIT - didnt read the post.. but if your tires leaking when they were installed then the bead is probably not sealed properly.. some bead sealer will do the trick

couple of things:
i run General UMP and i get no noises.
the hub ring is supposed to be tight.
you dont need a half barrel of water to find the leak, just get a spray bottle with some soap n water and spray around the the rims till you see the bubbles.

I will definitely bring back to the tire shop tonmorrow and see what they say. hub rings + check for leak + rebalance are what I will ask them to do.
lucky I bought warranties for the generals..the shop can replace if it's a bad tire after all..
btw thanks guys for all your inputs!!

updateee: so it's not a bad tire after all..the tire is fine. the rim is causing the problem. when the shop dunked the whole wheels into water, there's bubbles coming out from the rims. there was a small hole and a little indent in the barrel area close to the spokes. damnn it.. can't be;ieve MRR didnt inspect it before shipping to customers
