those of you running stretched tires....

any of ya experience one or more just leaking out of nowhere?

im a careful driver and all...but noone can avoid every chuckhole

anyways, last night i went to leave from my garage and i noticed my passenger rear tire (245/40/18 on 18x10) was really low.

i went and filled it up thinking it would be fine and the air came pouring out or so it sounded.

i took her home and parked in the garage expecting it to be flat again this morning, but it wasnt, it seemed pretty full especially in regards to the sound it made after inflation.

any clue whats going on? tire looks perfectly fine and has less than 750 miles on it.

sometimes beads come unseated it is more common on a streched tire because the bead is not always sitting flush with the rim so sometimes you get air leaks

if you want to solve the problem take your wheels in have the tires taken off and have the guy put bead sealer on the rim

if they are multipiece, it could be your seal.
