Swap the so called faulty tyre to another rim for a week to rule out an issue with the rim itself!

I've got a frustrating issue with one (front left) of my newish (10000km) 19 inch General Grabbers. It has developed a slow leak that Tyrepower can't seem to fix. They have changed the valve twice, water bath tested the tyre and can't find the leak. The tyre is losing around 10psi a week, although this isn't consistent - it was fine for a two week period and now is leaking again at the rate of around 10-15psi a week. Tyrepower took the tyre off the rim and refitted - still it leaks. I'm about to go back for the 4th time and seek they replace the tyre. The rim seems ok and the original Wranglers were fine. No vibration at any speed. Obviously a visual inspection hasn't revealed anything (hence why they did a water bath test). Any thoughts or comments?

						And before you do that, replace the valve - unscrew it and replace, 30 seconds of effort. TP may not have done that, check first.
Why dont you try diif tyre shop and see what they say..
Did they look for cracks in the rim is there alot of pit marks around the edge of the tyre.
If its lost 10psi in a week its very slow leak they may have to test it at diff PSI settings it can help...

						I've had porous tyres before but that started after a couple of years, not from new.
