Twilight Zone Tire Failure

[mmisko]

Three days ago (weather at nite in the teens) went out to my truck and two tires were flat on the RIMS, aired them up went on my way no problem for the rest of the day. Fast forward 2 days later( nite temps in low 40’s) all 4 tires flat on the rims. Checked my cameras but nada. This has me perplexed, if anyone else has had this problem on a set of Bridgestone Dueler A/T, mine only 1 yo, please let me know. When I go back t GMC for warranty and I tell them my tail  there gonna call the guys in the white coats.

Sounds like a bead leak or with the valve stems.

 

You could remove a rim and spray the bead with soapy water on a cold night to see where it's leaking from.

+1 on soapy water.  

 

First check the obvious.. check out where the tire hits the pavement

 

If you don't have a sprayer, just take a paper towel, put a drip of dish soap on it and a drip or two of water.  Rub it along the edge or where the rim meets the rubber and a dab on the valve stem.  It will bubble all over but be obvious if there is a leak

All that sounds good but on both occasions after filling to 35 psi and running errands all day, no problem still 35. this wasn’t 2 days in a row there was a  3 day skip. Go figure.

Double check your cameras, I wouldn't be surprised of somebody is helping air escape from the tires.

The Aliens did it..

 

But seriously.   I had something similar with two tires. it turned out there were screws in both of them and i was parking just right to cause them to  leak on some nights and not on others. Parking it in gravel......   But when it was two tires one night then 4  a few days later.. Def the Aliens well young ins most likely..
