IS TIRE RACK in the Wash, DC area? Anyone know a good place to take a tire to for remouting? I live in Arlington, Virginia. My dealer is less than helpful to say the least.
>>a slow leak, it sounds like. Have the tire re-mounted, and if it continues, buy a new tire from Dan at Tire Rack (dealership is overpriced)

>>Good luck

I have the Dunlop run flats. I got a nail in one and had it plugged. That held up for about 2 months. I then went in to have it patched on the inside at my local tire shop. After taking the tire off they found I had a cut on the inside about 4 inches long which wasn't noticable from the outside. Needless to say after the nail I have no recourse. Maybe have a look on the inside. If the valve stem doesn't check out.

dbMINI - If it turns out you have a leak you can always have it repaired (as long as it is in the tread area). A few months after I got my car I had a flat from a screw in my right rear tire. Took it to a tire shop and they repaired it for $7.00. I'm still running on that tire (21,500 + miles) without any problems.

Unfortunatly we're not in the DC area, but you can use THIS to help you locate an installer
