Take them back.

The possibilities are as follows:

1) Leaking between rim and tyre. You warned the fitter to clean the rims. If there was a problem with the rim surface likely to affect the seal he should have notified you.

2) Leaking around or through the tyre valve. This should have been replaced with the tyre, so down to the tyre fitter to resolve.

3) Porous wheels. Not a problem that's common with the Omega wheels, so for you to have suffered 2 defective wheels would be strange.

If they're losing 10 PSI overnight it should be childsplay to spot the leak. Take them back to the tyre depot and ask them to investigate.

I used to get 4k out of the fronts on my old vRS... But then I drive everywhere like I have eight seconds to save the world...

[The Sheriff]

Both rear tyres have lost 10 PSI overnight.

I asked the fitter to clean the rims before putting the new tyres on but.......

I just can't seem to keep the air in the tyres.

Any ideas, chaps?

You live in the sticks. Pikeys will be stealing it in the dead of night.......or..........Mrs Opti is trying to drive you round the bend so that we she can inherit your estate.

I have just returned.

They say they can find no evidence of leaks........but this is Kwik Fit.

Take it back and tell them to do it properly. Its a bodge job by the fitters

If they have lost 10psi by tomorrow, and make a song and dance - 3rd time, wasted time, wasted fuel, yada yada yada.

The fitter I spoke to had bruised knuckles where they'd scraped along the floor.

Told you so, Told you so, Told you so, Told you so, Told you so, Told you so,

Its Kwik Fit......never, ever, ever, ever, never, don't go to Kwik Fit

[05omegav6]

Not a fan then...

[Varche]

Oh oh

You have so got to go back.

Might be an idea to start keeping a record of visits, PSI every time you measure them and date/time. Not that it counts for anything but your tool for measuring pressure will be different reading to theirs. The key thing is the differences.

http://www.kwik-fit.com/customer-comments.asp   might be helpful at some juncture.

[Kevin Wood]

If the local knuckle draggers (did he not have fur on them to protect them from the ground?) won't help, just phone their customer support line and ask if it's normal not to be able to trace a leak that's losing 10PSI per day.

IME, KF work by employing complete muppets, but being willing to make amends when they, inevitably, arse things up.

[Sir Tigger KC]

Just squirt some squirty puncture repair gunk type stuff in!    Job jobbed and no need to deal with knuckle draggers!

Michelin's on mine when I bought it at 51,000 miles ,put a new set on at 57,000 & replaced those at 82,000 so 25,000 on a 2.6 manual.

[Jimbob]

your pressure guage is working properly I assume?
