Whats wrong?
Ok, so yesterday im airing up my tires and one of them is steadily losing pressure whenever i attempt to inflate it. This sounds RETARDED, but am I doing something wrong? I didnt know you could do THAT wrong.

Could have a slow leak or a bad valve stem..one of my valve stems is cracked not leaking yet but it's gotta get replaced soon as I get new rims..

you mean it starts leaking only when you try to fill it? sounds like valve stem is cracked or broken. just take it to a shop, tire repairs are cheap.

Yeah, only when i try to put air in it. And i would take it back, but these were the tires that came on it.So just go to a tire place?

The most common reason for this is the rubber washer in the air nozzle. If they aren't pliable or if the nozzle isn't aligned properly, you can do just what you described, loose more air than you can add.

Check all the valve cores and valve stems and replace those found to be defective. If you had to replace them al,l that would be the worst case and it is cheap insurance for preventing a highway blowout.
