Tires loosing pressure. V70-XC70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be Kosmas Moutis on  Thu Oct 26 08:39 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I have two wheels that continously loose about 10 pounds of pressure per week. They were checked, and both the tires and valve stems were fine (tires only have 5k miles on them). The dealer said this is common with alloy wheels, since they expand and contract more than steel, and the colder weather we've been having may be affecting them. Does this mean I have to chase these two wheels all winter long? Why weren't the other two wheels affected (the leaking wheels are on opposite corners)? Finally, is there anything I can do to seal them up myself?

Thanks.

Koz.
