Hey all!
Another stupid question!!! My right front wheel about 2 months ago went half way flat. Pumped it back up and its fine now has not lost pressure since then.
Now the left front went flat yesterday at work, pain in the arse when you have subs in the rear!! Pumped it up and how its fine!!!
I dont know if someone is deliberately letting my tyres down, but it there a stupid cause in this? My tyres are about 6 months old, rears are fine. Valve problem?? I've taped my valve caps up so I know if someone is tampering with them, is there certain valve caps you can get which lock in???
Let me know what you think.

maybe the tires aren't sealing against the rim? dunno is a bit wierd. I would go the let down theory.

nope im going to get some locking caps see what happens.
I pissed off this chick in my work car park the other week, so it could be her ahhaah.
So with locking nuts its almost impossible with take them off without a tool or some sort?
