i bought a new set of all-weather tires from the dealership last monday. day by day it seemed like air was slowly leaking out, but i didn't really notice until this past saturday when it was practically flat. so i stopped on the thruway and filled it up with air.

so it's tuesday and seems as though after 5 days it will be flat again. based on that timeline, either i ran over something the same day i picked up my car or the tire is defective. is it possible there was something wrong with a new tire to begin with or is the dealership going to try and fuck me on this?

Who knows.

Sounds like you should be alright. If you put a hole in it it probably wouldn't take that long to deflate and it should be fairly obvious. New tires should come with a warranty, although I have no idea what it covers.

I think its how it's seated on the rim, you don't have a good seal.

The warranty may only cover "manufacturers defects".

Yes, the tire could be bad but not likely. I have never seen a new tire leak and I've been in the trade for ~15 years - definitely a warrantyable issue though.

You could have picked up a nail or screw, which if it is still in the tire, can cause a slow leak. It would only be covered if they offered a "Road Hazzard" warranty but most shops would just plug or patch it for you at no charge (I would in my shop).

Or as nater said - it could be a bead leak. They should have cleaned and sealed the beading surface if there was some corrosion when they installed the tires but some lazy pricks don't bother. Again, this should be covered under warranty because of poor installation.

poor bead seal or possibly the stem. if you got close and listened you could probably hear it. but it doesn't really matter, you already know it leaks.

take it back and have them fix it for free. don't let them give you any shit either.

it was the valve stem. no charge.

thanks guys!
