Noticed that the rear tire pressure had dropped 6 pounds in one tire, and about 3 in the other rear tire
my front tires have lost about 1-2 pounds also
this has happened over about a 1 month period. While the temperature has dropped to freezing level recently, I used nitrogen inflation so did not anticipate temperature to be a factor in this equation.
This is on my winter tires ( pirelli 275/40/20 snows )
when I had the tire shop install the snowies on my stock 20s the tire guy did mention that one of the seals on one of the sensors was gone and replaced it - cost about 3 bucks to replace the seal
I'm wondering...
1) shouldn't my tpms dash light have come on when 6 pounds are lost on a rear tire?
2) are tpms sensors covered under the factory warranty even if you didn't buy / install your snowies at the dealer?
3) what - (other than the obvious running over nails etc- which there is no evidence of in the tires) could be causing this drop at weird rates in each of the 4 corners of the vehicle?
4) could it have something to do with the tpms sensors?
