Default can someone tell me how to tell if the tire is leaking?

is there any ways to tell (visually or car performance) whether the tires are leaking?

There are several ways.......check your tire pressure when the tire is cold & wait 24 hours & check it again.

Many shops have a dunk tank for tires to catch even the smalles of leaks (it will produce bubbles). If you suspect you have a leak, I suggest you take it to a tire shop as this is probably the best way to find out for sure.

Take off the wheel (make sure you have some air in it )

get a spray bottle

fill it with soapy water

spray it all over and the leaks will appear
