Hey!

Just wanting to find out if anyone has had the same problem? My run flat tyre gadge keep coming on maybe every few weeks??....and my tyre pressure (BAR) keeps going down to 1.5 and i always put it back up to 2.3. Do you think i might have a very slow puncture? But my tyre never seems to look deflated?

Can anyone help?

Thank you kim x

Because they are runflats it is normal that you do not see anything when the pressure gets low. The sidewalls are extremely stiff and do not bulge when the pressure drops.

Like the other guy said, sounds like a slow leak. Have it checked out.
