Tire Pressure Loss
If one of your tires consistently loses air pressure more than the others, which one is it? I bet I know
I have winter and summer wheel tire combos.. have replaced sets of tires... yet the tire at this location always loses more air than the others.
I have always wondered if this wheel position is prone to this for a particular reason.
Guess which corner

Bingo.. Left (driver's side) Rear. No matter what tire wheel combo I got on, or if I've had new tires mounted, I lose about 8-10 psi a month daily driving in that spot.
All the other locations lose maybe 3-4 psi max.
No other car I've ever daily driven had this phenomenon. Not even my '69 bug that I drove through University--similar torsion bar rear end

Yeah, I'm sure it makes no sense, but it's awfully strange coincidence that a refinished factory phone dial (rubber stem) with Michelin winter tire and original BBS rim (metal stem) with summer Yokohama--and all previous mounted tires--all leak in that LR spot significantly more over time than the other three spots!
Jokes aside, 90% of the time I ride alone so maybe it's the extra xxx lbs lol
