Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General Damnit another Tire going flat!!!

are these tires just nail magnets or something? I have another tire now which needs to be patched or something, came out of the theater last night only to find my rear drivers tire flat...had a compressor in the back so pumped it up and made it home, but still this sucks.

Oh well just bring it into town fare tire tommrow and see if they can fix it.

Your valve stems might be shot & this constantly leaking air. My two fronts were bad...

assuming you have an aluminum rim, make sure they clean the rim AND the tire. sometimes tire shops forget to clean the road gunk off the bead of the tire. leads to slow "rim" leaks that always return...
valve stems should be replaced everytime the tires are broken down (flat repairs, new tires...)

Hey thanks all, turned out to be a nail in the tire...but they replaced the Valve stem with a chrome covered one which looks like crap since the rest of them are black.

Oh well...

been talking to some mustang owners over the weekend and am thinking of going back to a stang anyway....
