Tire inflator, compressor: questions...

[quietguy_imp]

Quietguy,

Seems like the (stock, at least) tires leak when new, then settle down to a pretty reasonable loss rate. Mine did.

Thanks, popgun... I think most tire mountings are rather abrieviated - Mount, fill once with air, balance and wham, done.

I think done properly, after mounting, the tire should be filled then allowed to deflate some, then refilled and checked - this may ensure a good fitting of the tire bead.

Anyway, I'm certain the tires, after 270 miles have set onto the bead properly and should settle down some on air loss.

Thanks again for all the info and suggestions fellas.

As these are new tires, it will be awhile before I'm buying new tires. But when I do, I'll get a set of angled valve stems for sure.
