tire leaking air
Ok so no matter what wheel or tire i put on my front driver side corner the tire always leaks. I can't for the life of me figure out what the problem is. It's not the wheel because when I move the leaking tire to another corner, it stops leaking but the second I put it back on the front it starts again. I've had different wheels and different tires and they've all leaked until I put them on another corner. If you guys have any idea what the problem is please let me know.

Well there is only one way to find out if it's leaking air from the tire and that is by testing the tire for leaks. Use a little liquid soap/ pour water around the rim (inner & outer) of the wheel look for bubbling and check your tread for any small leaks. If you don't find any small leaks it's probably the rims, especially if they are chrome.

If the tire doesn't leak when moved to another spot on the vehicle and only the front driver side leaks, there is definitely something else at play? It doesn't make sense.

also, if there is a small leak, whether it be a nail, puncture, or a problem with the bead seating area, it can be more evident with more weight and also where the actual puncture sits in relation to the ground - if the puncture is in the part of the tire that sits close to the ground, it will most likely leak faster than if it is in the part of the tire that is not compressed...
