I've had my rims on for about two weeks now, and whenever I pull away from my house I hear my TCS go off, and every other day my right rear tire loses pressure. It will go down to 20 psi when it should be at 40 psi. I am not rubbing, no nails that I can find. My only guess so far is the metal valve stem might be leaking, but my other tires have the same stem and they aren't losing pressure. Any ideas guys?

BTW: Just if you wanna know im running on 5Zigen FN01R-C 16x7 Wrapped with Nitto Neo Gens 205/50VR16. Lowered 1.7 inch front/1.5 inch rear on stock shocks with Tein S-Techs.


Thanks!

okay this is going to sound obvious.. but sounds like a slow leak.. you could have them (whoever did the work) put it in a water bath and see if the lip is leaking (where the tire is mounted).. a valve core could be leaking.. you could try a valve core tool and tighten the core down to see if that is loose.. otherwise sounds like a slow leak in the tire somewhere..

let us know how it turns out

You know I thought it could be the valve, but I never thought it could be a slow leak in the tire it self, I'll go to the tire shop tommrow when I have some time. Thanks, I'll let you know what happens.
