TIRES LOSE AIR ALL THE TIME. I EVEN BOUGHT BRAND NEW TIRES AND IT STILL HAPPENS. CURRENT MECHANIC ADVISE ITS THE WHEELS. THEY ARE ORIGINAL TO THE CAR AND I AM BEING TOLD ITS DUE TO THE WHEELS. NOW I AM SPENDING MONEY TO "CLEAN" THEM. NOT SURE IF IT WILL HELP BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM.
