Tire pressure loss winter

[Amciano]

So i have 4500 mi wrangler sport s no real problems at all so far curious who has these nexen all terrain tires cold here in RI. Tire pressure dropped as i know it would reinflated to 36 psi on all 4 tires yesterday...today right fromt yire says 31 psi all others still 36..is this normal? Or should i get tire checked out, rim leakage, etc....any thoughts? Im not a fan of this brand at all and they dropped bfg tires on 24 models i think

That's a pretty big difference. You will see a difference, no joke, based on which tires are in the sun. Yes, it makes a difference, but usually not 5 lbs.

So u think something wrong with tire?

My tires have dropped from 36 to 33/34 which is common this time of year. All 4 tires drop the same +-1. I would fill that tire back up and check again, if it drops that much it would probably be a good idea to get it checked.

Always check on such things. A bad tire can lead to a very bad day for you and your Jeep.

could it be PV = NRT ?

U mean pressure valve?

 

[Amciano]

Or maybe a rim.leak?

Drive it a bit to see if they even out. Could be a fluke in the sensor reading. Or, as others have suggested, one tire being out of the sun.

Fill it back up to 36 psi and see if it drops again. If it does then I would take it in. There’s a bit of error with these sensors sometimes 1-2 psi. I fill mine up using a 4 tire air up system so I know for fact they’re all the same, but my dash will read 35, 37, 34, and 255 psi (I have a sensor going bad ?)

I’d fill it again and then monitor. if It drops again I’d check the valve. (A bit of liquid soap-does it bubble,. Also, and rim damage or sign of something having rubbed against the rim. If no dice on any of these, you’ve probably picked up a nail. I had one that would drop a few pounds every day. Drove me nuts. Turned out I had picked up a tiny brad nail. Good luck.
