Q: Tire leak
There is a slow leak in the tire.
Hi! The area that a tire can lose air is very limited. The air loss will come from either a damaged rim, leaking valve stems or tire puncture. Most punctures can be repaired but not all. I suggest that a technician inspect the rim for damages as well as the tire for punctures and valve stem for leakage.
