I had some wheels refurbished a couple of weeks back, after picking them up they sat in my garage for a week before i came to put them on the car. When fitting them I realised 3 of the 4 had next to no pressure in them and 1 was in the low 20's. I thought maybe they hadn't pumped them up after re fitting the tyres but then thought surely they would have to too re-balance them? I blew them all up and fitted them to the car anyway and all seemed well. My car has been in the garage for a week without moving, I've just been out and 3 of the 4 tyres are flat!

Is there anything that could have been done incorrectly while re-furbing them that would make the tyres not seal properly?

I know the tyres where holding pressure absolutely fine before the re-furb!

They probably have not been seated properly hence not being sealed, see if you can get one of them off and just run some soapy water around the rim, if you see bubbles appearing, this would indicate that they have not been sealed properly.

Dont think it could be anything that the refurb would have caused.
