I have had my Camaro for about 3 months and since day 1 that I took it home from the dealer, the rear passenger side tire loses about 1 PSI of air per day. All the other tires hold the air fine. Both the TPMS and my own digital tire gauges show the loss so it is not just a defective TPMS sensor. I have brought the car back to the Chevy dealer twice to have it looked at and both times the dealer could find nothing wrong with the tire.

A week ago I had the OEM P-Zero's removed and Pirelli Scorpion winter tires put on and made sure the tire dealer put the wheels back on at the same locations so the TPMS would still report correctly. Sure enough, the rear passenger side tire is still losing about 1 PSI per day.

This leads me to believe the factory wheel is defective and slightly out of round causing the air leak. Is there any fix for this situation short of getting a new wheel ? I am assuming this should be coverd by warranty.
