Hello everyone,

recently changed my tires, now I notice that I’m having a continuous tire pressure loss in the front area, checked for a leakage or a puncture or something, there is nothing that seems to be the reason. What it could be?
Last time I checked the tire pressure was 2 days ago and it was low also in the front, now it is the same
P.S: it is not flat tire, also runs at 35PSI

well, technically a tire that cant hold pressure is a flat tire.. but since they are brand new, mebe they screwed up seating it?

I don’t know why every time I check the pressure I find 5-7 psi low, check interval 2 days they are brand new tires Vredestein brand

Yeah, could be a bead leak or leaking valve stem. Have the installer figure it out.

if its dropping to same air pressure and then holding air at a lower air pressure, then first thing I would check out is valve stems.. might make sure the valve is fully seated, you got a tool to take the valve out? if not you can use some needle noses carefully or make the tool, its very simple (google it).. the entire inside of the valve unscrews and perhaps thats not fully tight..

either way I'd be taking em back to the shop that mounted em and make em fix it, they should honor a proper install and stuff like this can take a lil bit to discover..

Thank you for your help I will try to figure it out

The stem valve cover was applying pressure on the valve causing the leak

The valve cap doesn’t normally hit the valve pin, make sure the cores are screwed in all the way.

I'm still using OEM Hankook 22'' all-season tire, recent days TPMS start to beep at 7500km. Send to dealer got checked, no broken or leaking and topped up to 40psi front and 42 rear. After a week, back to 35psi on all four tires. Then send to costco topped up again. Will see if same thing happen again next week. Not sure if the tire will keep leaking after drop to 35psi.
