How can I stop a slow leaks on my tires ?

My 2010 Honda fit's tire low pressure sensor came on twice. When I got inspected by the tire dealership, they couldn't find any air leaks. It'll took about 2 months till the tires go completed flat, and then I'll have filled up with more air. The tires only has 2,600 miles. What sure I do get new tires and rims or just new tires to avoid this hassle ?|||Let the dealer worry about this problem. call the roadside assistance when the tire gets low, the car is still under warranty. Demand replacement tires if you have to or new rims.


good luck.........|||My answer is what they all said, and possibly the weather change from summer (warm air is bigger) to winter, tires inflated in the summer will go down in pressure as it gets colder and the air shrinks. Air pressure will go up and down with elevation too. Test the theory on a balloon, blow it up and stick it in the freezer so you can see what I'm talking about. Try about a tablespoon full of dish soap in a regular old spray bottle with water and spray it down and watch for bubbles. Air will actually leak through tires REAL slow through time and that's why they say it's better to use Nitrogen because it keeps your tires cooler and doesn't bleed through as bad. But either way if it's been checked out and you checked the valve stem and notta just check your tire pressure more often, which you should really anyway so they wear better and get better mileage.|||Sometimes, when an air leak is very slow it's hard to find.





You could try to tighten the valve in the valve-stem. Also, you could check the tire for an embedded screw or nail.|||Sounds like the "Pressure Sensor and/or Mount are Leaking". Bring the tire up to 32 Psi., Remove the wheel and Dunk it in Water to see if it is really Leaking.|||Then take it to a better tire store since clearly you have a leak. Tires don't go flat every 2 months as a matter of course.|||if they are new tires id say you have a bent rim on your hands, or a bad valve stem if they couldn't find a leak. or voodoo at work|||Don't b so cheap. Go fix that with a tireman/mechanic. Stuff won't even cost you more than $10.|||buy man lol
