How is the air holding up in your tyres?

David328M-Sport · 01-19-2006, 10:42 PM

I checked my tyre pressures after about 2 months and they all lost about 4psi. Just wanting to know how your tyres are holding up.

I know I need to check pressure more often and I do, but this was a test.

Comments please.

I also saw that in my 325. I have the sport package, you can really feel the difference. I thought it was only my car but i guess that makes the both of us. Do you think its because of the runflat tires installed in it? Any body else have this problem? Thanks for the info.

I have RFT winter tires now - your loss of pressure was in the sports tires (sports package) ? Or the all seasons.

I'll have to check my pressure I guess.

i've lost 2-3 psi in the first month. I think likely secondary to the runflats.. They require very high psi compared to other cars I've had.

My air told me it was fine. In good spirit and ready to go.

Mine lose a decent amount of air, maybe like 1psi a week.

Cold temperatures cause the pressure reading to drop due to the change in volume of air inside the tire. I try to check the pressure on a very cold day so my tires are not underinflated.
