    I just inflated my new set (two-weeks old) Thailand-made Dunlop Le Mans LM703 (205/40r17) with 37 psi last night.

    This morning, one tire is under-inflated close to run flat!

    I inflated it back with an air compressor pump and took it to a vulcanising shop but we found no holes.

    Now that worries me more!

    Buti pa sana kung may butas nga at least napa-vulcanise ko na kagad!

    What could be the possible cause of such mentioned under-inflation.

    BTW, I used the tire again to go to work, often checking inflation before I enter Slex.

    Ok naman siya ngayon hindi na siya lumambot, pero it gave me "paranoia" na.

    Ang sama sa loob, eh bagong-bago to kabibili ko lang.

    Should I be worried?

    I believe there is a leak on the bead locks of your tire. Have it remounted at a vulcanizing shop, but let them clean the area of the rim (inner circle) prior to mounting.

    Yup tama sila, ipalinis mo lang yung inner circle and pa-check mo yung pito.


    O.T.: Magkano mo nakuha yang mga goma mo? Lemans LM702 na 205/45/17 naman yung sa akin and malapit na akong magpalit.

    TIA!

Under-inflated low-profile tires, but no holes
