    Roger. Your feedback is much appreciated. I hope my spending time at home doing this will spare me an hour-plus wait at the tire shop.

    John,

    There's always a possibility that there's an extremely small pin size hole in the barrel of the wheel. In the last 7-8yrs, I think we've had like 2-3 incidents of this. If this is the case, get me a short video of the wheel/tire submerged in water showing bubbles and we can get it covered under warranty. It's rare, but it can happen.

    I had this exact same issue with an eagle alloy rim. Had a pin hole in the barrel. I found it with soapy water. Then put a little rtv over it. Lol

    Thank you sir!
    I shall look into this. I’ll let the tire shop know to make a full inspection of the tire and wheel and if this is the case to allow me to take a video. I appreciate you reaching out.

    I have this on all 4 wheels. If I inflate to 32psi they will slowly leak down to around 26psi and stay there. If I inflate to 36-38psi they stay put and of course psi goes up when they get warm. I have aftermarket wheels (fuel) and Nitto tires. The extra air is actually a little better than too little for ride handling and tire wear.

    Looks like it was a pinhole that was causing the leak. Bummer to find out but time to get it fixed!
