Default Re: Front tyre pressure dropping

Good morning all.


A loss of 1.5 psi per week is pretty normal. Often it's due to the tyre fitter not cleaning the rim of the wheel when fitting a new tyre. As said, check your valve.

As tyres & wheels are made to tolerances. Sometimes a particular tyre/wheel combination will lose a little air from the bead of the tyre. Whereas the next tyre of the same make & model on the same rim wont.

As I frequently have to remind my customers, check your tyre pressures weekly, or every 200 miles or so.


Cheers.
