New tire keeps leaking
 

I went to town fair tire in Brockton and got 4 brand new bfgoodrich g force comp 2 a/s put on the ol' T/A. I have American Racing 18" rogue wheels on the car. After a couple of days I noticed 2 of the tires were low. I brought it back a second time and the left front was still leaking. I brought it back a 3rd time ... same deal. As a last resort I emptied an entire bottle of green slime. No improvement. i have had the car for 4 years and it only goes out from april to november 9 so no salt/snow. The guy I bought it from also never drove it in winter. I had the car for 3.5 years with the old tires on it and never had this problem. Should I try going to another tire shop of just buy a new wheel. I jacked the car up and inspected the wheel for dents etc... it seems perfect. I am pissed cause I dropped over $600 Grrr...

sounds like corrosion around the bead of the tire. tire shop did not do a good job cleaning bead. have them break them all down again and prove to you they are good. there will be white flaky stuff were the tire meets the rim.

maybe they tore the bead

I found the problem!

I hear ya. The only reason I went there is my company has a wholesale account. I got all 4 for $600 (245/40/18 front & 245/75/18 rear mounted and balanced. I would NEVER get an alignment there but figured how can they fuck up a simple mount & balance? I think I'm gonna somewhere else tomorrow morning to get that tire re-mount and balanced. Does anyone living in the area (Brockton) know of a reputable shop? I am thinking sullivan, firestone or Mays tire...

These tire DO grip like a mofo though. I was gona go with nitto 555's but changed my mind last minute. When I bought my car I has kuhmo ecsta's on it. I could easily spin the tire at will. With the comp's ( MUCH MUCH harder. I effing luv these tires :)
