Hi,

I have had numerous Cyclones on this and old 306's with all manner of tyre manufactures on them but it seems they just keep losing pressure. I have always checked my pressures each month and they always drop from 33psi to anywhere between 24 - 28psi.

Has anyone else had similar issues?

Oh and no my drive isn't made of screws and nails!! Big grin

Maybe your tyres have cracks in the walls and need replacing?

I have the same issues with my rears.

When it was sorn the tyres deflated so much it just made the cracks bigger and now they lose PSI over time.

Its a bugger as they have plenty of tread and dont need replacing but kinda do! Im just resorting to pumping them up every couple of weeks and hoping i dont get a blowout! LOL

most likely cause is corrosion under the bead of the tyre, or that the alloy has gone porous.

get the tyres removed and re-fitted with some gloop that tyre fitters use for this.
