Tire leak, Help!
Here's my strory:
I bought 4 new Dunlop Signature Sport tires and had them installed. Shortly after I noticed a small leak with the left rear tire. I had taken the tire to three installers and nobody could find the leak for me. I had them re-bead the tire, submerge it under water(not a single bubble) sealed the tire again, and even checked for rim and valve damage. Nothing worked so I decided to contact the supplier and they replaced my tire. So far the second tire is doing the same thing. When I drive on the tire it increases preassure by 1-2 pounds while the tire heats up but when I let it sit over night or drive in high elevation it looses air. I don't understand if it increases pressure when driving, how is it still leaking? I am totally stumped on this one. The other three tires are working fine. Any suggestions? |
go over it with soapy water mark it take it back in. have them clean the rim to and give it a good surface to bead to.

How much pressure is it losing overnight? It's possible that it could be a tiny hairline crack in the wheel itself. I've seen this on more than one occasion in the tire shop I work at.

They did that when I got the first tire and it started leaking. It slowed the leak but still continued. A hairline crack on the wheel itself huh? Would that be covered under warranty, or woudl I have to buy a new wheel? |
