I think I may have a slow puncture on my passenger front. I seem to be losing about 1 psi every 6 hours or so. The tyres are almost brand new and I really don't want to have to replace 1 of them yet.

Is it dangerous to run the car on a slow puncture? Should I get it replaced ASAP?
Thanks

I have had two repaired as the nail was in the centre....I can't afford to bin perfectly good new tyres

 

Zero
Thats the weird thing I have looked round the whole tyre (well as much as you can see without taking the wheel off) and I can see nothing and hear nothing, yet it lost 1.5 psi over night and another 0.5 whilst sat at work this morning.

 

If they're new tyres, maybe need to look at getting them resealed.

 

you sure it's not the valve?

also it might be leaking round the rim

 

I will keep monitoring it, looks like a trip to the garage maybe called for. They were new on in January which is not new time wise, but I have done <1000 miles since then.

 

sounds like the valve....I had a dodgy valve

 

Presumably from the responses above there will be no adverse effects from driving with this kind of air loss if I top it up every morning?

 

I'd say, with my limited knowledge, no.
If I were you I'd get hold of some washing up liquid/water solution and spray it over the tyre & wheel. Look around the valve and the rubber/alloy seal and if either of these are leaking then its easy to fix. Get it to a garage.
If not then you will probably have to get the wheel off and coat the whole thing and look for leaks. If it's the tread it can be patched, if it's the wall then they probably won't do it. (stick some chewing gum over it )

You probably already know all this so I'm, sorry if I'm stating the obvious.

Your limited knowledge is greater than my zero knowledge. Will get my wsshing up liquid out ASAP
Thanks all
