Angry Tire lost +10 PSI overnight

All these pot holes in toronto have finally gotten me. Got in my IS this morning and front right is at 23 while all others are at 36. I was in visitors parking so had to move up, crawled up to the exit and had to park it across the street but PSI did not dip...The car sat for maybe 7 hours.

Anyone ever experience this? I'm still relatively new to cars and haven't seen this before. Waiting till around 1 pm to take it to Kipling Tire.

The Lexus dealership I work at has seen a nice increase in bent rims in the service department from all the pot holes in Ontario this week...

So I’m at kipling tire and I need to replace 3/4 tires. Left front and rear were bubbling at the sidewall, front right I came in for had a small sidewall leak. Only the right rear is in good shape. I got these pilot sport AS3+ last july, thats about a grand gone in about 6 months.

Toronto roads man, kipling tire is giving me a hell of a good deal though.

No Road Hazard warranty on the tires? Since they are so new.

Kipling Tire is an authorized Michelin dealer and they said no, this is just from hitting pot holes. I can't really fight them as in the last three days I've hit some serious ones. Filed a claim with the city maybe they'll do something.

Have to wait till tomorrow for the fat rear to come in. Honestly sometimes I think about trading in for a RX.

Make sure it is your tire and not the TPMS sensor. I made the mistake on replacing 2 tires due to constant air lost. Later turned out to be the sensor gon’ Faulty

Oh it's the tire, the leak was very small but on the drive all the other tires were gaining 2 PSI while this one just held at 35. The other 2 tires, I didn't even need to touch it you can see the bubble on the sidewall. I wish it was the sensor. Spent 1200 on the AS3+ last july, and now another 800 dang.

Did you get your AS3+ from them? how much including taxes? I need to get new tires this summer too for my OEM 18 inch F sport rims. Thinking of the AS3+ or P zero all seasons plus.

I got them originally from a shop in Milton, paid 1200 all in because I was desperate. Kipling replaced 2 fronts and a rear for $830~. They're good and run a good shop, I'd go and check them out for tire needs.

I see some of you guys are located in Canada, Ontario more specific, why don;t you check out this site for tires/rims brand new free shipping to your door or shop of choice.

www.pmctire.com

I found prices very good for name brand tires, sometimes cheaper than from costco. And if you order a complete set of rims/tires, install and balance is free!
