|    Corolla tire leakage    |
|    24 Jul 22 13:56:53    |
      From: bashley101@gmail.com              2013 Corolla S with the original wheels, tires and pressure sensors.       There are only 33K miles on the tires and the tread is just fine.Ever       since I've had it (2016) a single tire loses air very slowly -- it used       to go from 32 (or 35, I'm not real picky) down to maybe 24, and the       light would come on. A month or so later the same thing happened. Time       between lights is now between one and two weeks.              Dealer said he couldn't see a problem. (I have no actual proof that he       actually looked.) I have a nice plug-in tire pump (the $35 one from       Harbor Freight; the cheaper one burned up rather quickly when I tried       to pump all four tires) so there's no real problem, and I'm unwilling to       load the tire up with slime, but I'd really like to know WTF is       happening. Sooner or later I'm going to need new tires and it would be       nice to know if I need a new pressure sensor too.              BTW, I really like the tires (Goodyear Eagle RS-A) -- excellent       cornering on the road I take to go skiing. People really need to be       ashamed when they get passed by a granny in a 9-YO Corolla!              --       Cheers, Bev        A man's got to know his limitations.        It's a woman's duty to make sure of this.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
