air leaking, new tires on rear wheels?
Hi.
Recently I put all 4 brand new tires on my 18inch rims. Tires are Hankook Evo V12 pretty good tires. I've notice but only on both rear wheels air goes off from 33PSi down to 30- or 29 PSI, and probably still coming down after that.
It is usually takes on week or 10 days to loose 4 PSI.
I have mounted them at Town Fair Tire but I bought tires brand new from Tirerack. Did the guys from Town Fair screw something up at the time they mount tires on the rims, or maybe I have bad TPMS sensors and leak is through them..? Is there any gasket to prevent leaking what may be replaced?
In addition I can say that two front wheels are ok, also I've checked a small valves inside TPMS on rear wheels and they are ok.
I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

You don't have 3piece wheels right? Because if you do then maybe the rim sealant is leaking. Either way if you want to see where the are is leaking from get a spray bottle fill it with water and dish detergent, shake it up to get it nice and soapy then spray that ish all over the tire. Including where the tire meets the rim and take the valve cap off and spray around the stem and in the fill hole. You don't have to take the wheel off to do it you can do it while its on the car but make sure you do the same for the inside portion of the tire too. You will see bubbles from where the air is leaking.
And if you do have 3piece wheels spray the rim itself too. Hope that helps

thanks for answers, appreciate it. I've checked valves and they sit pretty tight , so it must be that dirt you guys have mentioned. I am just wondering now will Town Fair tire charge me again for remounting and re-balancing , what do you think? Do I have any right to make them do this again and leave me free of charge?
