tire psi issues

[Word3k]

Its been a little cold latley, about 4. Ive had to go to honda twice in the last 2 weeks to get them filled and they wanted to check the tires out to make sure there's nothing wrong with them. Anyone else in the new england area have the same issues? also they want me to drop the car off again, and the same thing happened last summer but they gave me new tires then. One more thing, i dont drive this car hard because of my rocker arm breaking after i bought it.

Why haven't they replaced the rocker arm for you? Are you out of warranty? Maybe you have a bad tire that has a slow leak, or maybe a bad valve stem? I'd argue that the wheel probably isn't at fault, unless it's bent for some reason. I'd be having them look at it.

They replaced it and a few other parts. The engine is fine now. I was just saying I haven't been driving it fast. But all 4 tires keep running low.

That's strange that all 4 are running low......... Are the valves(and stims tight)? I found a few of my valves loose after I bought my car new.... Nothing you can't check yourself..... I was getting a slow leak from 2 of them and found they had their valves loose on the wheel, so tightened them and no more problem......
I don't know about other models, but my wheels have air valves that screw down on the wheel with a nut, ppl with steel wheels may just have the rubber valves(which usually don't have problems if they're changed with every one or two tyre changes).

They checked them tonight and said everything looks ok, but they want me to drop it off saturday.

Did "you" check the nut on the valve?

Checked this morning and everything seems okay. Think in going to buy a different brand. I like this car but seeing as its always something going on I'm starting to feel that trading my 05 type s was a mistake. I never had issues with that car, and I bought that used.

tirerack's chart - 1psi of loss every month is normal, and 1psi for every 10 degrees in temperature change.

If you're losing more than that based on the temperature changes/time.... then they need to look at the valve stems, the tire for a defect, and the rim itself for being bent or whatever.

When I bring it to them after work I'll make sure they do that, and again thanks.
