Wheels losing air?

[TBSS07_Chappy]

Hey guys,

I am having a problem with the air going out of my tires. Most specifically the right rear. I have owned it since Jan and in two weeks the right rear was down to 24psi. The other three were running around 32. I filled them up on the 18th of Feb since the tire monitor was screaming at me. I aired the fronts to 38psi and the rears to 40 psi. I did this because the Max psi said 44.

My tire monitor was yelling at me again today. I got my Onstar diagnostics report from today and my right rear was down to 25 again.

Is this a known problem with the aluminum wheels? I know my aunt had an issue with the aluminum wheels on her '04 Tahoe just like this.

Simple things you can do first..

Air tire up.
with a hose can run soapy water over the valve stem check for bubbles.
check tire for FOD (foriegn object Damage) run water over tire looking for bubbles.
If you cannot find anything take it to the dealer underwarranty

Take it back to where you bought your TBSS and tell them to check the bead and the valve stems. I had that happen to me with my 02 LTZ and it turned out to be a bad valve stem.:m2:
