One tire on our car has a VERY slow leak. I typically inflate all the car's tires to 36 psi. After a week, this particular tire will be around 20-23 psi, while the other three will still be very close to the original 36 psi. My uncle is a mechanic (and a very good one!) but was unable to find the leak. I haven't found it, either, but clearly something's wrong. BTW, the usual soapy water test doesn't seem to reveal the leak, either. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
I vaguely remember some sort of spray one can put into a tire, where it essentially revulcanizes (?) the rubber, or something like that. My wife mostly drives this car, and the handling is affected by the leak, making the steering less safe than it should be. Since my wife is also the one who often drives my kids places, I want the car to be as safe as possible, and this leak is driving me crazy! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif
For all you car folks out there, is there something fairly inexpensive and simple that I can do to cure the leak, without throwing the balance of the tire off or causing any more harm to it? If so, please advise! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
