    Ask ko lang newbie kasi ako, napansin ko kasi laging nababawasan yung pressure ng tire ko i mean laging deflated. Normal lang ba na nade-deflate yung gulong ko? Actually kasi Wednesday night nagpa hangin ako then kinabukasan ng gabi parang deflated na sya agad. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

    You have a slow leak at your tire. Have it checked. The leak coudl be the valve, at the rim between the rubber and metal or a pin hole in the tire itself.

    My tires have kept their pressure for weeks without needed to re-inflate.

    Nagpahangin ako sa shell kanina naging 29 from yesterdays 30. :-( pacheck ko nalang siguro. Actually napansin ko to mga 2 weeks ago thats why I asked kung normal ba kasi lagi nalang mukhang flat ang tires ko. Could this also be a result kung di align yung wheels mo? I'm planning to take this kasi sa servitek for wheel alignment may kabig kasi sa kaliwa. Thanks sa lahat.

    Check if it's the bleeder or the tire itself. I do my own maintenance most of the time when I have the available tools at hand. Simple check up lang. Pump your tire, Jack up your car, take out the tire, have a pale of water which is bubbling with soap ready and pour it slowly at the entire wheel specially at the bleeder. If you see something bubbling then you can identify kung saan agad yung leak. If you have a repair kit like the one being used by Shell, I purchased mine sa hardware then you can simply repair it yourself.

    Plenty of possibilities, pero based sa post mo from 30 naging 29, hence 1 psi lang binaba - should be alright. Pero if continuous ang drop from 29 to significantly lower psi values in a week's time, then there's a lot of possibilities:

    1. May bengkong (or bingkong don't really know the correct spelling of this one) ang mags mo.
    2. Faulty tire installation.
    3. You need to have your tires vulcanized (baka may maliit lang na butas na mabusising vulcanizer lang ang makakapansin, if so, soft patch lang po ah? Wag tusok or plantsa method)
    4. Panay lubak sa dinadaanan mo; and
    5. Plenty of other factors that the previous posters may have mentioned some of it.

    Pero kung 29 lang siya consistently and tumatagal naman ng buwan (like mine), I think it's fine. Mine's same as GH, I don't have to frequently visit the AIR/WATER section of a gas station for refilling my tires with air - minsan 2 months pa ako bago magpacheck (with constant checks before I leave from home kung visually ba e mukhang mahina yung mga hangin ng gulong ko).

    some tires look deflated even though it has correct tire pressure. check mo muna tire mo and don't go for visual inspections only.

    imho, 1 psi loss in 1-2 weeks can be normal. but 1 psi loss in a day is not.

    Your tire valve might also be damaged/weathered. Try replacing them.

    Everything considered you might also want to try to shift to nitrogen gas. medyo may gastos (some place charge 100 per tire. pero in some places lifetime na pa karga ulit) pero the advantages would outweigh the cost.

    Pro - stable pressure. unlike air which fluctuates and during a hot day rises from 30psi to 38psi. Since nitrogen is heavier and denser than air small leakes will not cause tire deflation as much as air does. since your recommended pressure is maintained, mas fuel efficient at di-tatagtag ride mo.
    Cons - cost. plus difficult to have if service stations with nitrogen are far from your usual routes.

    much has been said

    add na lang, ano na po ba ang status ng tires mo? kung luma na or bago? kelan huling nabuksan? ok pa ba yung pito(tire valve)? have it checked at the local vulcanizing shop(yung may machine na pang tanggal ng tire), it wont cost you much either..

    pano ba dapat vulcanizing sa tubeless tires? nung nagpavulcanize kami eh pinasakan ng "karayom" na may makapal na "sinulid"? parang sticky thing.

    saka kung every 2 weeks ka nagpapahangin, is it advisable na pa-vulcanize at pahanap kung may butas?

Always deflated tire is this normal?
