Losing Tire Pressure Overnight

I replaced my stock wheels and tires for a set of Methods nv's and BFGK02 a couple of weeks ago.

Everything was fine until a trip to the snow last weekend. I dropped the tires to 15psi to increase traction and after about 5 hours of "wheeling" I proceeded to air up to 38psi. On the ride home the tires were holding air no problem. The next morning, I noticed the tire a little low, checked the pressure and it was at 28psi. I aired up, did my thing all day and parked the car for the night. Next morning, the tire was again at 28psi.

I inspected the tire for visible damage and could not find anything. Took the truck to the shop where the tires were installed and they mentioned that the leak was coming from the TPMS sensor. They cleaned it, tightened and told me to keep an eye on it.

Unfortunately, the tire keeps losing pressure, so here I am checking to see if any of you have had a similar problem and how you dealt with it.

Thank you in advance!!

 

spray your tire down with soapy water, if the leak is still coming from the tpms you might be better off just getting new ones.

 

And make sure there is no damage or casting problems on the wheel where they mate.

 

I have had aftermarket wheels have slow leaks. I found them by soaking them is a pool of water and watched a slow bubble come from the wheel behind the spoke. It was a slow leak about one bubble every 45 seconds, little dab of jb weld, scratched the surface and made a quick patch. Never a problem since then. You also may had some dirt in the bead since you aired down a lot.
