Comment on 4 leaky tires on the same rental, overfilled to compensate

  Some of these newer alloy wheels are harder to mount. If you let them know there’s a history of leaks on that tire they may apply tar to the rim which can go a long way. My car has had a lot of issues on one tire until I found the right mechanics, ironically they were also the cheapest (small business who specialize in used tires). Later after getting new tires the problem went away without the tar, so I think it comes down to surface prep.

  You could try tightening the valve core too. But 3 months isn’t really a slow leak. You should probably fill your tires that often anyways

  Some rims are slightly wonky, which can also be exacerbated by temperature fluctuations, with the rims getting a bit larger or smaller. I had a problem like this, and used an air compressor plugged into the cigarette-lighter outlet to pump up the tires from time to time.
