Constantly deflating tyres!!!!!!

Hey guys

So I run Yokohama AD08Rs all year round on my 200 but over the past few months the front right has been slowly deflating whereas all the others are ok, swapped tyres and it still happened.

Bought a new tyre and it’s still happening! My friend thinks the wheel is buckled but weirdly the rear right is now doing it!

2 days and the rear was 7psi and front 18?!

Anyone else had this? Thanks for the help!
 
If you've got the means to do so, pump it right up to 32-34psi and put the whole thing in water, you'll easily see if it's leaking. Or, if you haven't got anything big enough, soak the rim edge in water with lots of fairy liquid, any leaks should be pretty easy to spot as it'll bubble..

Hmm ok thanks guys, I’ll try all the short term fixes but may have to look for new wheels! I do love aging French hatches haha

Must not buy 220t..............
 
If they're the original wheels make sure the tyre fitter gives the rim of the rim a good clean on the sealing surface. Over time they can get dirty/pitted and cause a slow puncture. Did you have new valves fitted when you swapped the tyre's?
Like it's been said before get them in the bath filled with water.
