Re: All 4 tyres of my car seem to be losing pressure slowly. Why?

Why would all 4 be dodgy though?
1995 car, corrosion on all 4 rims where some daft pi11ock used knock-on balancing weights instead of stick-ons before I bought the car in 2000.

The valves were all changed (as per the norm I think) when the tyres were changed.

My old Lada wheels drove mechanics to distraction as they just kept on slowly deflating. Then they found out why: the wheels were made of 2 castings joined back-to-back, with a thin rubber gasket between them. And Russian rubber doesn't last long.
