Rear passenger tyre flat after hols

[stevie_350z]

Got the old girl out of the garage to find I had a flat at the rear. A quick check all round showed:

[row][mcol]Front[col]22.5[col]29.5

[row][mcol]Back[col]0[col]29.5

 

I've pumped 'em all back up and will monitor the tyre pressures again tonight.

 

Anyone seen a tyre completely deflate after no use for two weeks - seems pretty unlikely to me.

 

Neighbour just walked passed and said "have you seen those self-tapping screws littered across the car park"

 

I only replaced all four tyres a couple of months ago

 

The tyres are now set to

can you see anything in the tread steve ? if not check the valve, spit on your finger, smear it across the valve to see if air is leaking

Was it only flat at the bottom Stevie?

Looks as if you've got a slow punture bud. Try the valve test that Gixxer suggested and failing that you will need to examine the tread for nails, screws, etc.

Just been to tescos and back and then did the tyres again - the back one has gone up a bit (warmed tyres, although I was taking it easy?)

Let's see what tomorrow brings

Had this on the Audi 2 months ago, found a nail right on edge of sidewall/tread after some hunting around.

 

Only time before that was a much cheaper fix as the valve had failed, a new one for me.

 

May be only answer is to keep it hot

i'd take the wheel off and give it a good check, i wouldnt fancy a blowout at 70mph due to a nail.
