Flat tyre

    Car needed new tyres on the front and one appeared to have a slow puncture. Got new tyres, but haven’t been driving the car, there’s about 20km on the new tyres. Have the same issue again, there appears to be a slow puncture on one side. I haven’t brought it to tyre repair centre yet but just wondering, is it possible there’s an issue with the wheel which was causing both tyres to lost pressure?

    Tyre repair places can diagnose issues with wheels such as buckling or dents which might let air out. Sometimes tyres can look low but are OK. I suggest bring it back where you got the tyre and they might fix for free

    I had a similar issue once and it related to cracked alloys.

    Did they put new tyre valves in when the tyres were changed? If they reused the old ones then you could have a problem with the old valve. Otherwise as said it could well be a cracked alloy wheel.

    Yes, check or just replace the valves. This have been the reason for a slow puncture for me twice.
    One of them fastfit places will change them all for a few euros.
