Rear tires not holding air? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I only have about 20k on these Pirelli P-Zero (second set) and all of the sudden one day the rear tires decided to start leaking about 20psi per day. I took them to Sears and they told me that my tires needed replaced because they are too worn down (oops). However, I put twice as many miles on the tires I had from the factory and they NEVER did this. Anyone else have this problem? Also, when I do replace the tires does anyone have a recommendation on what I should get other than the P-Zeros?

Well do you race? or do anything that would require excellent grip?
I have 480 tread wear on my generals and they will probably last me a year
as for racing, next year I'm getting a set of Nitto's NTO5s or INVOs are good..

If you are losing 20lbs per day you either have holes in your tires. Objects in them causing a leak. Damaged or faulty stems or they are leaking from the bead. At that rate of loss you should be able to dump water all over the tire and find a leak.

I went with the B F Goodrich G-Force Comp 2's. A much, much better tire than the stock ones. Better handling, longer wear rating, don't follow ruts and they were cheaper.
