All 4 tires constantly low on air??

Anyone else have this with their 2015 fit?

Every 2 weeks we need to put air in all 4 tires, been that way since we got the car. I haven't talked to the dealer yet as I suspect they will just say too bad.

If I have all 4 at 32 PSI, by next week they will all be below 28 PSI.

If the Honda dealer won't look into the problem, take your car to Les Schwab. They cheerfully fix flats and slow leaks for free.

Could it be faulty valve stems?

Or missing caps?

Also, if you check pressure after driving for a couple of miles, you will get a different answer than if you check first thing in the day before going anywhere. This alone can make 3-4 PSI difference. Also check with the same gauge as many cheap ones are not all that well calibrated. Gauge-to-gauge can be another 2 PSI or more.

Just take it to the dealer. Sounds like rim leaks.

Hey this happens to me too!

What tires do you have? The stock tires depend on when and where your car was made. Are you on stock wheels?

I had a slow leak with both the stock wheels AND the new rims that I put on (used the same Firestone tires that I got from the factory). Maybe it is the valve stems like someone else mentioned?

Let us know any updates!
