Chicago Crew Thread #2

I'm really not sure how the fuck that happened. This is the second time too. I just hope that the 100-150 feet I drove with the tire like this didn't cause any damage to my VCU. The fucker is brand new, I bought it early summer!

I'm sick of dealing with these shitty tires that are on here. All new tires are going on Monday

Maybe it's the blue valve stem caps...just kidding...sorry to hear that...
Maybe you've got a slow leak, so when the tire pressure gets too low, it just doesn't hold to the rim. I've had that happen in the winter, they just reapplied the seal goop, and all was good. Try that.

Truth, could be a bad seal connection, causing a slow leak with the result Luke described...

I was at Dave n Busters in Addison last night...lots of talent...walk out and two people are arguing about my car. Is it the Avenger GT?

Anyone know the local dude who is selling this '95 TT on Ebay? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dodge...77395150QQrdZ1

yea this is what i have to live with all the time on my brother's car.. it leaks about 4-5 lbs from three tires every 24 hours. i dont know why but the drivers side rear is always perfect and i tried everything even took all the tires off then put em back on, all sortsa crap,.. eventually i just gave up and got an air compressor in my garage . now i fill up on air more than i fill up on gas

Break the bead and clean up the wheel. Its probably dirt and corosion between the tire and the wheel.

I get out and this is what I see........

Tire 1

Tire 2

Tire 3

wow that sucks.. hope everything works out with the new tires. if its the air then i got the same problem. its due to the chromes. just check it everyday after getting new tires and find a gas station near your place with a free and powerful air pump and ur pretty much set.

theres a firestone shop a block from my house and they took the tires off, cleaned the rims, and made sure there werent any problems. then they put em back on n the very next day it lost about 3lbs so we took it back and the guy said that chromes usually leak like crazy when there are differances in temprature.. err somethin like that. what do you mean by break the bead?

[talskinyguy]

breaking the bead is popping the tires off the rim
