What Causes Slow Tire Leakage?

[DelNaomi]

Here are the main reasons for slow tire leakage and their solutions: 1. Leaky valve core: Pour water on the tire and observe if bubbles form. If bubbles appear, slightly loosen the dust cap without pressing against the valve core. 2. Pinholes in the tire: Inflate the tire fully and use a soft brush with soapy water to clean the pinholes. 3. Foreign objects puncturing the tire: Punctures from foreign objects are the most common tire damage. Common objects that can puncture tires include nails, screws, wires, glass shards, sharp stones, and tile fragments. Among these, nails and screws are most likely to penetrate the tire, causing slow leaks and remaining lodged in the puncture. If not removed promptly, they can worsen the damage. 4. Damage to the tire sidewall or inner edge: The sidewall and inner edge of the tire are also vulnerable areas. If the sidewall frequently rubs against curbs, it can wear down over time, leading to slow leaks and a high risk of blowouts.
