Lexus SC430 :: Tires Went Flat When Car Parked In Garage

Several months ago one of my 20" toyo tires was flat when I came out of work. Being a high school teacher, I thought that perhaps it was a students involved situation. That came as a surprise in that as a teacher of over 37 years, nothing has ever happened to any of my vehicles, while parked at school. Also I found it strange that they would let air out and put the chrome valve cap back on. Well, over the weekend, the same thing happened, with the car parked in my garage. So in both instances the tires went flat, I filled them back up and they held air. This happened months apart.

Lexus GS 2013+ :: Wipers Won't Lay Down Flat Anymore

I noticed recently that my wipers don't lay down flat anymore. I trust there isn't a setting that I've missed? I suppose it's a "dealer has to fix it" problem.

Toyota :: Can Misalignment Cause Flat Tires?

I'm not sure if this is a stupid question or not, but can tire misalignment cause flat tires? I ask because earlier tonight my drivers side tire went flat as I was taking off from a red light. The tire doesn't look damaged from the outside. I put the spare on, which looked practically new since I had never used it, but within three miles the spare went flat.

When I got my tires rotated a few weeks ago I noticed a slight pull to the right, but after a day or two I stopped noticing it. I'm not sure if I just got used to it, or if it was just me not being used to the new tires.

I am having the tire patched tomorrow, but The thought that the misalignment might be causing this has just stuck itself in my head and won't go away.

Golf VI R :: Flat Tire Warning - Pressure On All 4 Tires At Exactly 40 PSI

I just got 4 new tires installed, running 235-40/18 setup (stock wheels.) On the drive home, the flat tire warning sign came on. I've tried to used the SET button in the glove compartment to deactivate it. That did not work (it flashed one time then stay on).

I check the pressure on all 4 tires and they're all at exactly 40PSI. What the problem could be and how to turn this pos off without going to the dealership?

Lexus ES 2013+ :: Lumpy Tires When Cold - Is It Normal

ES300h, 17" rims, Dunlop SP Sports, and I'm getting a lumpy and uncomfortable ride first thing in the morning. Outside temps are 10C or lower and tire pressure is 210 kPa or 30 psi, although the tires warm up to 230 kPa or 33 psi after a few minutes.

Is it normal for all season tires to feel lumpy when cold? I don't want to pump it up higher because the tires would probably hit 36 psi when warm.

Civic - Honda :: 2012 - Tires Go Flat / Pop And Shred While Driving

I've read from quite a few places online that other 2012 Honda Civic owners were having tires go flat, pop and shred while driving (Granted that this is probably the most common car issue that any one faces). The Honda is my wife's car and is less then a year old. I change her flat and checked the other tires ALL of which were dangerously low on air. Seems strange that so many of the same vehicles with low mileage are reporting having the same issues. (Firestone Affinity Tires)...

Subaru - Legacy - Suspension :: 2003 - Tires Thumping (as If Flat) During Slow And Tight Turns

We have a 2003 Subaru Legacy named Penny. Lately she's been "thumping" when we make slow tight turns -- usually when pulling into or out of a parking spot. This is less of a noise, more of a sensation. Thumping and bumping as if the front tires are flat, but that's not the case. To complicate matters, it doesn't seem to happen first thing in the morning. Starts showing up after a drive of 30 - 40 minutes and continues to get worse the longer we drive throughout the day. Driving straight is fine, less sharp turns also fine. Mechanic guessed axle and replaced both front axles last week. But the problem persists. We are independent musicians, traveling often, and NEED this car to drive reliably!

Prius (2004-09) Fuel :: New Tires - Bad MPGs - Service Light Came On?

My wife and I were driving around town the other day. While merging onto the highway we hit a nail. I put the donut on and went to TiresPlus where I have gone since I started driving. I had been thinking about replacing the front tires due to wear and the nail wen in the side on the rear. Anyway I purchased 4 Firestone Affinity Touring tires and went on about my day. My wife drives 100 highway miles a day and then does some city driving. This week she has lost about 5mpg's according to the display average. Also the service light has come on. Can this all be tire related?

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Steering Wheel Shaking After 5000 Miles / 6 Months Service Performed

Yesterday had 5000 miles/6 months service performed on 2015 3500 miles AWD RX-350. Right after leaving the dealer felt that steering wheel is too light. After some driving it returned to normal, but with very light shimmer during driving (40-50 ml/h) and stops . Today was backing up from garage and shaking was much more noticeable when reversed and parked, also it was some kind of (I think) engine roar. After that drove almost 30 miles with some steering wheel light shimmering, but no other issues.

Is it normal car behavior, and I'm just paranoid ? Or, if there is a potential problem, what could trigger it, and how it could be resolved?
