Tyre Pressure Possible slow Puncture

[cameronrobyn]

My run flat indicator keeps popping up on my 2006  3.0d.

I checked the tyres last week and one was at 22psi (Normally 32 psi)

I put air in them again today and same again.

Is it that obvious, or is there something I am not aware of.  It has been exteremely cold here in Ipswich. 

The indicator came on again when I came to work tonight.

Brake it gently (See what i did there)!  I need a new tyre, any recomandations!

Cheers as always Andy

Hi get the tyre checked first maybe an issue with the rim , if it is punctured get it repaired if possible , it is highly recommended that you run both tread depth tyres on same axle aswell as the same make , so if you change one  possibly better to change them both at the same time .
  what size is it as sometimes people post them on here or do a wanted add you maybe lucky if it needs changed ! also could be a faulty sensor I had one going off once a week after new tyres fitted .

Cheers Sid,

Just checked it again and lost 2 PSI.

Probably have to get a new one, and opposite tyre.  Can you use run flats on the front and normal on the back.

Talking £300 each

Have you considered corrosion on the bead wall of the rim?

Twice now I had the problem so a quick trip to a back street garage tyre place....wheel off, tyre off then span the wheel upside down with a sanding disk to polish it back smooth.....no more issues

What about the valves?

Sorry no you have to run all run flats or normal tyres ! As the others said could be the rim sometimes they get some crap in between the tyre & the rim once tyre off they simply clean it off refit the tyre jobs a god one . What style of wheels have you on the car ? Are they BMW X6 wheels ?

agreed

I've seen it before. Normally it never goes completely flat.....just looses the 10 psi over 1 or 2 days and settles at that value

I'd try that first with a new valve..... £10 tops befor you screw the sidewall in for good
