Stock wheels/tires I still have the stock 16 inch chrome wheels with the goodyear RS-A's on my T/A, and this weekend I went into my garage to find the rear passenger tire completed deflated and the rim on the ground. I inflated the tire, and drove to a gas station and checked again, proper pressure. I drove 250 miles home, checking periodically along the way. It is fine now, question is, what would cause a tire to go completely flat in one night, and be able to be filled up with no leaks or losses?(so far) I'll keep an eye out...Thanks for any help, email addy below

Re: Stock wheels/tires I've had some leaks like that, they are very annoying.
Have you checked the tire pressure again?
I'm sure you have a nail or or the seal is broken.

Re: Stock wheels/tires Somtimes when someone decides to mess with your car they will unscrew you tire valve cap and place a small rock in it and screw it back on just to where it will leak. Then when your tire is flat your so pissed that you don`t even notice the rock fall out when you unscrew the cap. Just a thought but I`d check for a nail or somthing. You may have parked on the nail just right to cause it to leak. I`ve pulled out nails from tires befor that were leaking and when I pulled them out they stoped leaking (still pluged it). If you drove 250 miles a nail or screw would be hard to find after wearing the head off. Also take in to concideration that you may have a faulty valve stem.
