hey all I finally got my wheels mounted and balanced and put on my car.

Now heres my problem, everything is fine except for the left front tire.

Every other day I gotta go put air into it because every other morning I find that its flat?

what do you all think is wrong?

what is the deal?

what should I do

go to where they put them on?

or call the place where I bought the tires?

thanks for all
peace

I'd go to where they put them on first. It sounds like you have a slow leak due to either a tear in the tire...maybe a screw or the tire isn't mounted properly. If its a tire defect then goto where you bought the tires....they still should be guaranteed

or a leaky valve stem. when i got my new wheels/tires, i had 2 of them that developed slow leaks. fill the tire up and then spray some water on/around the valve stem, then wiggle it a bit. will see bubbles if it is coming from the valve stem.

good luck
