Indeed.  I added about 10# to my mom's tires, 5# to mine.

I have a dodgy rim on my '96 Accord, need to add every couple of weeks.

My wife's car had a flat front this morning... re-inflated & when I got to the shop they said the bead was dirty/corroded. They cleaned it and all set now. Loss of pressure finally let a slow leak happen overnight.

Wish this post had happened yesterday...  :)

My girlfriend's mom had new tires put on at the Honda dealer and they all went flat over the next several days. I guess they didn't clean up the rim.

I took out my trailer for a gig a few weeks ago after reading this thread. Before I left I checked the tires and they all wanted about 20#. Thanks for the reminder.

The heck with it, I just bought a new vehicle.

Okay, the old Honda Odyssey finally ran true to form and developed transmission problems, but it had 154k on it, so I had real reservations about dumping large amounts of money into repairing it(needed a timing belt too, and would have needed new struts and rear brakes next year).

I decided to go back to a pickup truck.  Looking into caps and/or Line-X right now.

Tire pressure is good though.  ;)

Best regards,

John

A few weeks back I lost all pressure in a leaky rear tire of a 26' enterprise, fully loaded with PA, at highway speed. The load (arguably overload) then blewout the inner tire and we damn near spilled vertec and my A2 all over the road in a rollover.
 
It would have been a shame to lose the vertec  :)

We lost both passenger side duals on a 24'.  We weren't over weight for either the truck or tires, but it was 112° out.

My observation has been that we lose the inside dual most of the time because it's the most difficult to check or inflate... damn near impossible to get a tire chuck on the stem.
