My left front tire seems to lose like 1-2 psi a day...it gets down from 36 to 22 or so every 5 days it seems...I think the rear on that side does too.

It seems I may have a slow leak, but I keep adding air every 5 days and it rides fine...I dunno if it's worth it to bring it to town fair tire and have them check it out...they repair/replace the tire no charge, but at the same time I'd hate to wait there for hours and have them come back and tell me "we can't find a leak" :drink:

It probably does but I'm lazy.

Does that "fix a flat" stuff ruin tires or what? Cuz I was thinking of doing the fix it yourself thing and just fill her up w/ that and call it a day.

don't use fix-a-flat.

Get it checked... could be a rim issue, could be a leaky valve stem...

Some leaks are so small you need to submerge the tire in water to see it. I had to do that once.
