2. dodgy valve or housing for valve - did you get this changed with the Tyre?

3. old tyres can become pourous need changing (Not in your case though as you have new tyre fitted)

4. Slow puncture you just havent noticed yet

5. run with ultraseal or similar should prevent the air loss

did you know Avon garuntee their tyres from puncture for the 1st x000 miles ?
it's more or less a continuation of this thread

Some time's my mind doesn't only wander, it leaves completely ...........
