This morning I had a low pressure warning right front tire.
So I stopped at the gas station to check pressure and inflate since it was only around 28psi. The compressor wasn't inflating the tire probably because the of frozen water in the airline. So I went to the tire shop I normally use. I have had a very slight vibration above 80mph and I mean very slight so I asked them to balance all four wheels.
Any way they get the leaking tire up for balance, the rim is bent at least 1/4" out of round and cracked hence the slow leak.
I was amazed how bent the rim was and how very slight the the vibration was.
So now waiting on a new rim $992 from Jag the tire shop found me a new one for $792 fitted.
