    Default Tire keeps airing down :(

    So as you guys know I gotta 09 Mazda 3 and the front passenger side tire keeps airing down!! I've took it to a shop and they even replaced the tire 2 times! And even replaced the valve on the wheel itself and yet my tire still loses air, all the other wheels are completely fine but this one wheel is a pain in the ass

    Did you take it to the same tire shop or 2 different shops? If the former try a different shop with great reviews and is highly recommended.

    Rim probably has a hairline crack somewhere, that would be my guess.

    Yeah it was the same shop & yes it's an alloy rim and yeah I think it'd have to be a hairline crack somewhere

    Need to buy at least one rim to replace that. Sounds dangerous.

    Did they put it in a leak tank, or are they just guessing and wasting time and money?
