blake918 Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 The RE92 Bridgestone Potenzas on my ES drive me nuts. I like to keep them at 44psi for a firmer ride. However, the front two deflate to probably 30-35psi and stay there . They never go flat. It's only the front two that do this; the rears hold the pressure fine. What gives???

jdmparts_guru Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 probably you have some small holes in your front tires. What you can do is to change the rear tires with the front tires and then check if it still happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviej Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 check your valve stems, it may be they leak at the base when the tire is really inflated and as it deflates the tires sag enough to close off the tiny leaks. sj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Mine are the same way, I've been told they're just crappy tires... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blake918 Posted January 7, 2004 Author Share Posted January 7, 2004 Mine are the same way, I've been told they're just crappy tires... Hahaha :D lmao. I have removed the little needle valve things in the stem to reset the seal, and that did no good. I think I'll bring the car and have the tires checked for leaks. Thanks for the suggestions.

SW03ES Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 I'm just using it to justify new tires LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99lsguy Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 The "seating" between the tire and rim can also be a problem. Most places rub a compound around the inside lining of the tire to help it "seal" around the rim. Good luck. Steve, I hear ya -- I want new tires too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
