Re: Leaky back tyre or wheel?

I am prolly a bit late into this one - but here goes with my experience...

1. it could be corrosion on the inside of the rim preventing a good seal - ask the tyre place to check and if nesessary clean inside of wheel with wire brush and refit tyre

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 ?
