When I bought my 69, I had a problem with the front tires (both sides) going flat. They seemed to go down very slowly and then more rapidly until there is literally no air left. I assumed I had slow punctures, or that the valves were done in.
The tread was low on the tires in any case, so I went to my local tire shop and got new tires and valves fitted.
They went flat again within 2 days! Arrrrrghhhhhh
So now I am poorer and still have to pump up both tires every time I want to move my cat (when you have a garage which is only a few inches bigger than the cat itself - this is quite a pain in the a$$).
So.....I take the car back to the tire shop and complain and they sealed the beading up with some special goo or other. I was told that would do the trick. Guess what? I'VE STILL GOT 2 FLATS!!!
My cat has the eliminator style styled steel wheels with 225/70/15 Cooper Cobras. The old tires were Firestone. The mechanic says there was no corrosion whatsoever in the wheels and assures me new valves were used.
Has anyone else had this problem with these (or other wheels).
Any help much appreciated.
