Received a low tire pressure message a couple of weeks ago. Checked all four tires -- three were perfect at 36psi, which is the recommended inside door jamb label pressure. The driver's side front tire was 22 psi.
That didn't sound good. I aired it up, and drove around a few days. My daughter told me she received a low air pressure message, and so I checked hers (that was the day I put air in 20 tires) and engaged in a process wishing I had a commercial-level air tank. I think I know what I want for Christmas.
Anyway, my pressure had dropped in a week from 36psi to 30psi in that front tire again. So there's a leak somewhere.
Should I just take it to a tire place? I always think they are trying to sell me a new tire. I am not ready to buy four new tires, and I really don't want to buy one.
Should I deflate the tire, put "slime" or something in it, reinflate it, and see if that seals the apparent leak?
What's the most reasonable thing to do? I don't think reinflating 6psi each week is the most reasonable approach without addressing the issue.
