Hey guys I have a tire that seems to slowly lose air over a month or two it mught lose 10 to 15 lbs. I have had it off and checked for holes/nails and have checked the valve stem, it is fine the needle is tight. Any ideas? Will shifted belts cause this? I would have thought that the ride or noise level would have gotten worse if that happened though.

Could be who knows what. Will they give you a new tire?

I have one tire that loses 8psi overnight

take it to a dunk tank and air it up to max psi on sidewall and submerge it! only have to be 10% smarter than air leak! if ya can't find one just get a big bucket and fill it with sopay water and a wash mit and start slowly and work your way all the way around the tire and rim. you will find it if it's leaking! dunk tanks the absolute best method!!

Old Thread, but I just found out that the slow leak in my drivers side rear tire was not due to a nail, screw or whatever, but The OEM Rim was corroded due to road salt getting in between the tire bead and the rim. Well, that's a new one on me! The garage Tech dismounted the tire and cleaned the rim, but he said I should dump the rims.

OK I park on the street in the winter and road salt must have done it. Gash Darn it! Now I have to find new rims. Any suggestions?
