Hi all,
Some advice is requested re. the tyres on my B7. All 4 seem to be deflating over relatively short periods but with no real pattern to it. The tyre brand is 'Pace' and they were all bought from Black Circles a year ago. I've driven about 8,000 miles on them. I had Halfords check the tyres thoroughly and they can see no issue with them at all. No slow punctures, nothing structurally comprised in the walls or anywhere else, and the tread is still very deep. Also, the valves are not leaking (they say). One thing is that I did have some ebay metal value covers on the car and they were a ****** to tighten properly (and to get off - due to them rusting on a bit). I've taken them off now and put plastic ones on.
The alloys are the original ones so 13 years old now. Maybe the surface has corroded and the wheels are now porous? Or the tyres aren't seated properly? I'm stumped really as the tyres seem fine so don't want to replace them all.
