General Soft tyres!!!!

[BenGarner93]

Every few days I find my tire nearly flat, getting pissed off with it now, I run 205 40 17, I put the correct psi in for a 1.2, I don't know if it's the bumpy roads I have to drive over but it's really annoying!

It's both front tyres, back two are fine.

 

[Wisey]

A) Are the tyres sat on the rims properly.

B) Are you sure you aren't just terribly unfortunate and have two slow punctures.

 

[BenGarner93]

My first thought was they don't look as on the rim as the backs, there is a few mm gap it seems but can't feel anything really.

And I hope it's not two slow punctures

Could be a number of things,....

As mentioned,

Slow punctures.
Annoyed neighbours.
Kids with nothing better to do.
Loose valve cores.
Leaking rim.

My advice would be to cover the whole tyre, rim edges and valve in a mix of water and washing up liquid, any leaks should bubble up.

If your still none the wiser, take the car to a tyre shop for a check, they're usually free.

I have come the conclusion with one of the tyres, a big ass screw is in one, but doesn't explain why the other is going down, guessing I could have ran over some screws n ones got a screw inside of it and the other has had a small puncture but the screw hasn't gone in.

Hope its not my neighbours we get on well haha

I work in tyres and it sounds like its leaking out the bead if you go to a tyre depot and ask for a bead seal that should sort it out mate

I'm going to sound daft now but... What is a bead haha

 

[Andr3w]

It's where the tyre seats on the wheel

 

[the rake]

Not where the tyre sits, but the edge of the tyre that sits on the wheel.
