Feeling deflated...

[Shab]

...'cause two of my brand new Grabbers are losing air. Is this normal after the fitting of new tyres, as they bed in, so to speak. Or am I looking at the unlikely scenario of two punctures?

Any thoughts?

TIA,

Shab.

Could be that they have not sealed on the rims properly

Is that fixable?

mix up a bit of soapy water, get a paint brush or the like blow u tyre then brush soapy water round rim ,

Just take them, or your truck back to where you had them fitted, and they will re-seat them for you. they shouldn't charge you for it.

You got that right...think the boss was a bit miffed 'cause I bought some grabbers for less than £65 when he quoted £100. Place was called TBE [think there's one up your way]. Will not be using them again...
