  • how often do you put air in your tires?

    I hate my tires. I need to put air in them at least once a week and I know this can't be normal because I've never had to do it that frequently with any other vehicles. I have the stock chromed salad shooters w/235/55/16 Cooper Cobra Radial GT's. I'm not impressed with the Coopers anyway, but this can't be normal. I loose 3 to 5 psi in less than a week. I usually fill it to 33 to 35 cold psi.


    How often do you guys have to put air in your tires?

    Take them out to a tire place, and have them check the valve stems.

      already done that. They said there's nothing wrong with the valve stems. I didn't believe them so I took it to another place, said the same thing.

                      I have one cooper cobra that needs air about every other week, but that's most likely due to corrosion on the aluminum rim. the others are absolutely fine.

                        Mine leak and I was told my chrome rims are corroding where the aluminum and chrome meet. The aluminum rims will corrode over time and affec the seal between the tire and rim. By the way, read your door sticker, the proper cold pressure is 30 psi front and back.
