...on another note a decent driver should be able to notice a low tire. the car will start to feel "floaty" like a boat and not be "tight". A good test is to jerk the wheel back and forth a bit, if the car returns as normal = good. if it feels like its loose and swaying = getting flat tire. ...obviously do this within safe reason.
..OH! and the obvious - look at them before you start driving and use a pressure gauge!

yes i just found out when the dealership took the rims off the tire there are rips in the inner walls of the tires and they are only a month and half old. that's why it is losing air. now tire rack is sending me 2 brand new tires to replace them. the other two rims and tires on my car have not lost air at all. should i just leave those alone and not mess with them and only replace the two tires/rims that are losing air? or replace them all?
