Yup, the right rear tire is the one to pick up nails most often due to it being closest to the side of the road/ curb where that crap accumulates. I’ve had a slow leak in the past and after topping up a couple times, I ended up being stranded in a parking lot due to the nail creating a large enough hole that the tire wouldn’t hold air for more than a few minutes. Moral of that story, get the problem dealt with ASAP.

 

??? how did you know?? witchcraft! Is there a known problem?

EDIT: seen other folks' responses, im really hoping it's not a nail

 

Physical inspection, I don't see any nails. going to discount tire later today to take a look. The leak seems very slow (pretty much goes down 6psi and stays there 2-3 weeks onwards

 

How's your weather in your part of the country?
I've had tires loose pressure when in very cold weather. The seal between tire and wheel lets air out.

 

In my 50 years + of driving with countless punctures to-date, all were on the passenger rear tires. The front kicks the nail up then the rear catches it.

 

Not sure if this is meant for me?

Passenger rear tire hypothesis:

1) Crown of the road slopes to the shoulder area (don't drive on the solid white line lane markers....lots of crap over there)
2) Road hazards eventfully move over there
3) Especially after a rain storm
4) Front passenger tire stands them up
5) Passanger rear tire stabs 'em......flat tire

 

Haha, you owe me $50. I do accept bitcoins and dogecoin.

 

LexVan,
Yes it was meant for you.
Thanks

 

So turns out the tire caught a nail in the middle. Im usually careful not to take the curbside lanes but guess it’s inevitable.guess ive been driving around with a nail for 2 months! (~100mi) Discount tires at lake forest wanted $80 to patch??!! (Also nobody is wearing a mask) Stay away! Going to america tire from now on

 

I am impressed.

My 981S caught the drywall screw in the...right rear tire.

 

Wow first I have heard of them charging for a fix. Try another major retailer if able.

 

def Porsche tax included

 

I've replaced two rears and a front due to nails, 11k miles on the rears and 14k on the front one.

The rears were wearing on the inside and were close to replacing, the front still had plenty of wear left but didn't care to patch. The local Discount Tire refused to patch one of the rears and blew me off, even though I was a customer, won't deal with them again.

Have a two year tire hazard on the 3 replaced tires.

In the fifty previous years of driving, I've had maybe 2 or 3 nail punctures, the Porsche has had 3 in two years since delivery, cost of Porsche ownership.

 

did the tire hazard cover the brand new tires? Considering getting them but they told me the rears only have 50% thread left (at 7mm) but only 3500mi

 

PM me if you want the tire plugged in my driveway (Tustin)

I've used this kit twice at the track to finish the day and get home.
