New Tires Losing Air
#11
Ok so just to update: I went back to Tires N Rims in Woodbridge as they told me they'd reseal the two tires again free of charge since i had just bought from them a month ago.

Service was good as the 1st time, treated me well and resealed the two tires in about 20-30 minutes. The guy told me that the bead wasn't damaged and they DID use lubrication the first time but sometimes the the tar sealant isn't enough and air comes out of the edge. So he told me i was the first guy back from all the winters they sold this season.

He explained to me that they basically remove the air, push the tires in and paint the inner wheel edge with the tar/sealant and after they pumped the air back in the tire i could visibily notice some of the black tar/sealant that oozed out around the edge of the tire and wheel so they definiitely put a lot on this time.

Drove home and checked the tires with my digital reader and it read 35psi and 32.5psi (it'll go down a bit after driving). So far so good...let it rest a couple days...i'll check it again on Sunday and tell you if the air has finally stopped leaking. It should read 32-34 psi.

Be the change you want to see in this world.
