Same here. At one point, the left rear went flat. Not sure if it was related or not. Both the rear tires have always leaked a bit and still do.

Yeah, in my GMC truck though, which is mostly due to a screw in the tire.

hub checked the valve stem and it was a little loose .. but the manual gauge showed a pound less than what the sensor showed...... so air back in the tire again.. we will see if it was the valve...

I've had my Camaro since July 2010 and have yet to put any air in the tires.

CUPRA · 10-10-2011, 06:13 PM

I had to air mine up on Friday, they were showing 6 psi low all round. Seem to be putting air in them every couple of months or so. :(

Mightygrasshopper is correct. There are at least two documents that might pertain to the issues many of you are describing. I'd suggest speaking with your local dealers about anything they might have that would address this type of issue and see if they can help to make sure there aren't any issues with your tires. I hope this helps and if you need any help with this let me know.

I had the same problem after taking delivery. Later I found a nail in the back right tire(got it on day1). once that was taken care of. they all hold air now. I think I have had to add air maybe once or twice since then.

chilihed · 10-14-2011, 02:32 PM

in the absence of a puncture you could try nitrogen fill. It is a larger particle size, and less apt to leak for no apparent reason.

nashstat · 10-15-2011, 10:36 AM

My LR had the same issue. I have Discount Tire's Warranty Hazard program. Took it in to them, they discovered a very tiny hole, which is why it took a few days for the pressure to go down.

They fixed it up and now it is back to normal!

CrzyGamr2 · 10-15-2011, 11:48 AM

Mine has been since I got it.

SemyDaCop · 10-15-2011, 12:18 PM

Just put in some nitro and u will solve the problem.

Bonanza7 · 10-15-2011, 12:19 PM

All tires leak air, even those with nitrogen. No biggie, just check it each week.

rdsesq · 09-23-2013, 06:28 PM

Anyone still seeing this issue with 2012/2013 run-flats.

I have a 2013 SS. About 3 months old now.
Pressure seems to be dropping a couple of PSI every few weeks.
Tires are inflated when cold. (I live 1 block from a gas station) Inflation checked with a tire pressure gauge at fill and it matches the values of the TPMS system. Inflated to 37 psi and reset the TPMS system values. 2.5 weeks later, it is showing 2 psi drop fronts 3 psi drop rears.

Blue-J · 09-23-2013, 07:22 PM

Less than 3,000 miles since May 17. Have dealer put air in every couple weeks. Going to go in and have them arrange to have them all checked and re-sealed.
