Tyre losing 1 bar a day???

My Tyres losing about 1 psi a day, I'm guessing a reaaaaaaaaaaally slow puncture, will the guys at the local tyre place be able to find such a slow leak? Puncture, or could it be anything else?

Cheers

I bar a day is a lot.
Could easily be detected in a waterbath.
Could be a puncture or a bad rim seal.

TPMS = Tire-pressure monitoring system, it's an optional extra which isn't normally selected.


I also have a slow leak on my front tyres, so I presume it's the same thing with that being a bad rim seal.

Making a visit to the tyre shop tomorrow, I'll report back! Thumbs Up

As above it is the tyre pressure monitoring system, looks like this

The black bit is in the wheel.

The problem with them (well one of the problems anyway) is the alloy stem cracks with age, and either leaks or lets go completely, leaving the driver stranded.
