Default Slow leak under warranty?

hi, I couldbt find a definitive answer in the manual, but I have a slow tire leak on my "16 I got in july.....it could be a seal issue or maube a puncture ....does our 1yr bumper to bumper cover this....usually when you buy tires at a 3rd party they always cover something like this....seems lexus should too?

You have 4 years "bumper to bumper" coverage, FYI. Tires are excluded however your dealer may "good will" the repair. Also check that you weren't automatically opted in for road hazard warranty on purchase.

mcfancy, you can try the dealer but tires are warranted by the manufacturer. Brochure should be with the owner manuals.

I had a slow leak too! They said to talk with Michelin. Ended going to Costco and getting it fixed for $15.

Or America's Tires does it for free

Another slow leaker here. I found a screw in the tread. $20 to fix.

It depends where the leak is...my 3rx had a leak after 6 months in the wheel/tire...the bead was not set properly. Fixed under warranty. If it's in the tire, that's for us to pay. Check to see if the valve is tight.
