I don't know what happened but I got a flat again just over night for the 3rd time this year already. messed up my entire memorday weekend plan.
It'an old 2001 OEM 16" chrome wheel with goodyear tire. the 1st and 2nd time was a bad air valve that was licking air but what cause the valve to go bad?! I had them replaced a few months apart and they still went bad. This time I check the wheel and tire dipping the thing in water and it is licking air inside the wheel edge/arch area in several places. Is it the tire that is bad and not holding air or is it the wheel? I really don't know. The tire can still last for another year and so so I don't want to make a mistake of wasting my time again |

I also like to add that it isn't just that wheel that lick super fast over night. most of the wheel will loss like 5-10 psi every other month....I got a feeling it those chrome wheels that causing this seens regular steelies never have those problem

Second set of tires? Sounds like whoever did it didn't put bead sealer on the rim. I read of some chrome peeling problems, but no chronic leaks.
If you have life on the tires, find another tire shop, and have them check it out.
