what probably happened is they half a$$ed the install. You are supposed to clean the inside of the wheel really well to prevent leaks like this.

You should have them check the condition of the insides of the wheels, clean them, and then add some bead sealer to the mating surfaces between the tire and the wheel.

Dont forget that about checking the valve stems for leaks. They can leak too, if they werent replaced.

It could be anything that anybody has said. But believe it or not it may be the rims. I had the EXACT same problem with my old tires on my Civic. When I got the new tires on there the guy asked if I kept losing air in them. I said yes then asked why. He said it happens with most aluminum rims or alloys. What it is is something to do with the edge of the rim. Say this is the rim. Excuse the straight line but I'm just showing an example. _______________. The edge of the rim is in one line, like any rim that's not bent. But the problem with alloys is that they can rust on the edge of the rim. It's not bad enough to ruin the rim or anything but what it does is leave spaces at the edge of the rim, so it looks like this... --------- It's the smallest problem ever and won't cause any aesthetic problems but it does cause leaks in the tires.

I may be wrong, it may be something simple, like everybody else said, but I figured I'd just put it out there that it could be that.

*edit: I wanna say it's the inside edge of the rim. And if you take it back to the shop that put the tires on they may say that all they need to do is sand down the edge so it won't cause that anymore. Atleast that's what the guy at the shop I got my tires at did.

I work at National Tire and Battery right now and i can tell you that if that happens its one of two problems...They didnt clean up the rim or its a valve stem. Of course there is the off chance that you could have caught a nail but i doubt it. Bring em back.

mine were leaking on the camry when i got two new tires, only held 20psi

easy to change though, pop bead, remove old stem, install new and re-inflate to 40psi to seat bead.

sounds like the stems are bad or the beads didn't seat properly, take it back to em
