Tire pressure loss
Wife's 05 LS has 245/45r 18 Dunlop SP 5000 Sport tires. This is probably the first car I've experienced with low profile tires. All 4 tires will loose about 1.5 lbs. of air pressure in about 2 weeks which is a little greater loss of pressure, in that short period of time, of other car tires I've dealt with. Seems like my Tundra goes several weeks without needing a little air adjustment. Is this loss about normal?
Does the 2005 have TPMS sensors? My SC loses air once in a while and they told me its b/c the TMPS sensors get lose at times and you have to tighten it up. You can tell by looking at the air nozzle, if it looks like a little bolt where it meets the wheel, try getting a socket and tighting it up.
The LS430 does not have TPMS sensors. (The car uses the ABS sensors to detect a wheel running faster (smaller diameter) than the others.) Does the car have chrome wheels that may be corroding and leaking air?
