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

Most alloy wheels, even silver ones, have a painted finish. Problems start when that paint is chipped, such as kerbing the rim or using clip-on weights. Corrosion then sneaks in under the paint often forming a path to the inside to allow a slow air leak.

Whilst a clean up of the tyre bead seating area and some goo will often provide a short term solution, the only real answer is to have the rims stripped, cleaned and re-painted.
