Need help, irreparable tires.
it's been cold here in Chicago and everytime I walk to my car in the morning, my tires are flat. some of them completely. it's been a pain having to pump them up literally everyday, i had them checked out at 2 different reliable tire shops. both of them did the buff/lube and put in the extra rubber sealant around the beader to prevent from leaking. They assured me that everything should be cool 'cuz they checked for everything. yet still, they are getting flat!
now, i'm getting desperate. i don't know if it's the tires or my rims. Continental ContiExtremeContacts 225/40/18 (which i don't like btw) on Hamaan HM2s. i'm thinking it's the tires but don't want to go ahead and buy new ones w/out being sure. Does anyone have any info/suggestions? Thanks guys.

If it's more than one tire, I would suspect leaking valve stems...
or someone is messing with your car.
When you check the tire pressure during the day, do you notice it falling through the course of the day? Have you tried spraying a soap and water solution on the valve stem to check for air leaks?

I agree with the other posters that more than one flat at the same time is suspicious.
Why don't you leave some dust or tape or similar over the valves and see what happens?
