You have steel tires?

I didn't know that was an option!

They must as noisy as hell and pretty slippery on corners...not to mention the incredible unsprung weight! God, your car must handle like a drunken fat woman on rollerskates.






















If you mean the wheels, I would say it is nearly impossible that the body of the wheel could have rusted away that much.
- There may be some rust or crap stuck where the bead seats.
- You have something sharp stuck your tire.
- The valve stem is leaking.
- The valve isn't screwed in all the way.
- Some joker is letting the air out while you sleep.

Take off the offending wheel, take a bucket of soapy water and a rag, and slop the water around where the tire seats and around the valve stem. Watch for bubbles.

If you don't want to have it properly fixed, go down to your local hardware store and buy a can of that fix-a-flat crap and spray it in.
