Installed 4/29/2013 on 2007 Buick Lucern at 34000 car miles -- Less than 1500 miles run on since installation -- continually loose tire pressure (using nitrogen). Tech says leaking around rim; says they have cleaned the rims and sealed tire and rim.
This understood by anyone w/remedy?

starstarstarstarstar 		tire pressure leak
by: SNR

Water bath showed leaks. Tech says it's from 'pitting' of my chrome wheels; factory installed O E, 2007 Buick Lucern CXL. Thank you

Tech obviously hasn't sealed the tyre otherwise you would be maintaining your pressure.

Could be leaking around the valve or valve stem, even a welded seam if you have one.

Has the Tech given the tyre a water bath test as i'm sure that would show the leak.

As a last resort I once used tyre sealent. The kind that sits in your tyre and automatically repairs punctures as you get them and it worked.

Good Luck!
