With these low profile tires (Bridgestone S02A), any tricks to ID'ing a leaking tire other than keeping a pressure gauge handy and checking things before it's too late?

Just get into a habit of checking tire pressures with a decent guage regularly, especially when temps.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am pretty new at the p-car game and had a tough introduction to flat tires. Car didn't feel quite right, but it didn't look wrong, so I kept going a bit further. Then it felt really wrong, so I stopped and the flat was more apparent. Put on the spare Ok, and took it to the tire shop. $400 later, I have a new tire on order. With these low profile tires (Bridgestone S02A), any tricks to ID'ing a leaking tire other than keeping a pressure gauge handy and checking things before it's too late? Thanks!

POST 2Original post

What I do for my wife's car which has very low profile tires as well is put on these little valve caps preset to 36psi (they come in other pressure settings as well) and all she has to do is glance at them and if they are all green she is good, if one of them is yellow then she tells me and a red one means stop and call AAA.

POST 3Original post

There's this: http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/categories/tpms.jsp But a quality tire pressure gauge works for me.

I think those things hold the tire valve open and then you are depending on a seal on the valve cap against the thread on the valve stem. That idea makes me far too nervous to use them.

POST 5Original post

Just get into a habit of checking tire pressures with a decent guage regularly, especially when temps. start to fluctuate. A decrease of 10 degrees in temp can drop 1 lb. of pressure.

POST 6Original post

I seem to get a lot of screws, nails in my tires (maybe the neighbors or co-workers hate me). But, I can tell my rear tire is low by the PSM taking over on the car, loss of power, ineffective gas pedal movement.

Thankfully you were vigilant and prevented a more serious issue This is what my darling wifey drove 15 miles home on, at freeway speeds in the 986... Tire had a hole in the inside large enough to get my hand into where the shoulder had worn away and then de-laminated. Amazingly she made it home, and the rim was undamaged.. I have no idea how!
