Slow puncture and tire shop recommendation

Tushar · 06-18-2018, 01:18 PM

Hi all,
I usually fill up my tires to 37psi. Every morning before I set off to work I see a pressure of about 34psi on three tires however the right front is always a little lower. In about 3-4 weeks of filling it, the right front shows a cold tire pressure of about 27psi.
I drive on the highway for about 20 mins to reach work, by then the three tires show a warm tire pressure of about 37-38 psi and the right front is at around 30psi.

So do I have a slow puncture? Do I need to get it fixed?
I live in the bay area in California. Please give me some recommendations for a good tire shop nearby. I also have Costco membership.

Thanks!

Take it to a shop and let them figure it out. America's Tire is in CA.

I'd guess you do have a slow leak. Have you inspected the tire? You should be able to see something unless it's on the inside wall. You can also try using some soapy water to look for bubbles. Could also be the valve. If it's not obvious, you'll need a shop to look at it. Even if you find it, you'll need a shop anyway, lol.
