Tire pressure on one tyre always losses more than the rest.

[Kk88]

I find that the rear tyres of the right side tire pressure always losses more air faster than the rest of the tyres. The reason i say that is becos i need to pump more air into that tire everytime i pump air every 2weeks.

 

The rear passenger is my 3yr of son with a booster seat. and Boot are nothing fill up with heavy stuff.

 

Can someone advise? Thanks

i have similar problem as you on my suv, the driver side front tyre alway drop pressure faster than others by about 5 kpa. sent the tyre back to yokohma to do water test (They submerg the whole tyre and rim to check for leakage but nothing). try sending yours back to the tyre manufacture workshop.

That shouldn't be the case. Why dun you bring to a tyre shop and let them check for leaks?

[Kk88]

still the same now???

 

mine is faulken...

[Kk88]

should i go back to PH? or any tire shop?

why don't you DIY check first?

 

definitely a leak somewhere. either tyre or plug.

 

try to check for nails on the tyre first. you can also try spraying soap water on the plug.

PH oso can. But I always go to Leong Seng or South East Tyres. Please go to a reliable one.

Must be a leak somewhere

 

This shouldn't be happening.

 

Check it out at a Tyre Shop

 

At most, pay a few bucks for tyre patch repair rather than you risk having to execute 'Tyre Changing Drill'

yokohama people do the water test found no leakage on rim and tyre and even tyre sidwall also not leak. so they take out the whole tyre and refit for me and re-balance but same problems occur. i am too lazy to go back to pandan loop too far from town. trying to monitor again. if after 2 weeks drop 5kpa then i normal - but if only on this tyre after 2-3 days then not normal leh ...

 

kh 88 - do u have same problems as mine? i only weigh 90kg leh and maybe 50 percent of the time is me alone driving - could it be my weight exerting onto one side that cause this tyre pressure imbalance ?

does stamford motor does the test? cos thinking of gg there to test...lazy to go back PH...so many ppl....:(

[Santa]

is a tedious check i think most tyre shop will only spray the soapy water at the sidewall but not to the extend of submerging whole rim with tyre to check. (they pump the tyre up to 350kpa first then put inside the water tub to check - take about 30mins)

 

u have same problems as me ?

[Kk88]

yup....same problem!!!

[Santa]

yours drop by how much pressure and on which side ?

[Kk88]

dun knw how much pressure.....right rear.
