Losing tyre pressure

[TimG30si]

Hey. One of my tyres is losing pressure, around 8-10psi per week. Can't see anything obvious wrong with the tyre so wondering if the rim could be to blame (it's the 108 split rims)

Just wondering what the options are if that is the case? Would a refurb sort it? Rims are in pretty good condition so not in need of it cosmetically

Any advice appreciated, cheers

is it standard tyre or run flat?

most likely a cracked alloy ( worst case) , faulty valve ((£5) or tyre just needs resealing to rim with some paste (£5)

unless the tyres got a slow puncture or if its old they can loose pressure too there going to be your possiblities

Split rim on 108 is not relevant as the 'split' is on the centre star. The tyre sits on a 1 piece part of the rim so unlikely to leak. Refurb won't help unless the rim is badly corroded and not seating. They can be porous but very rare.

This is a 99% chance of being a puncture either with or without the offending 'nail' still in.

I'd simply dunk the rim in water and find the leak then decide on what to do based upon that.
