Q: One month old tires all leaking
I had new tires put on one month ago. Three of the tires definitely lose about 10 pounds of pressure every week. I stop to have them checked every Friday since they look low and feel low when driving. Yesterday I stopped and the mechanic checked and said three of the tires were leaking around the rim. My usual repair shop is not where I purchased the tires. My question is whether this is common. Do newly installed tires leak three months after they are installed?
