Default 2 Weeks, 2 Flat Tires HELP!

Alright guys, Last week my stock SO2 went flat, now today my YokoAVS 100 is flat. Both times it has been the back left tire. This is a horrible time for this to happen and Im making this very quick because I have a court hearing in less then 30 mintues, But I need to get this posted before I leave. Do you think there might be something wrong with my car that is making the tire go flat? What should I check? Im really confused on why I would get two flats in two weeks.

Sorry if Ive made any spelling/typing errors, I just got done changing a spare in 10 degree weather.

Did you check for puncture wounds in the stock S02 and the new tire? Did the tire go flat from loss of air? Or did it blow out (then lose air)? There is a difference. There isn't enough information in your post for anyone to give you any credible advice. For all we know someone could be letting the air out of your tires.

maybe its not the tires...could be your valve stem is leaking. I had a flat a couple weeks ago due to a valve stem not sealing right, so a new one was put in and not a problem since.

Sounds like the Smartire TPS would be a good investment...

That isn't too bad, I got 2 flats in 2days straight, and I only had my car for 3 days total. Talk about bad luck.
