My truck is still under full-warranty, my question is, if one of my tires has a slow leak while the other 3 hold tight, would that be warranteeable or would the dealer have an obligation to at least investigate the problem?

 

I just called the service dept. and they said that they would have to investigate my wheel/tire and if it is due to a manufacturers defect then I'd be covered. In my case, I don't think I've hit anything with the tire/wheel like by offroading or curb scraping, it has just had a slow leak for a while now. I will bring it in and report back, has anyone else had any slow leaks with their aluminum 16" 5 spoke Toyota wheel/tire/BFG Rugged Trail tire combination?

 

you probably picked up a nail or something. I see that you live in Massachusetts. I work in a tire shop and a common problem I see is corrosion forming around the bead. Its just the nature of alloy rims. I doubt it is a rim. How much pressure has it been losing. DO NOT use fix a flat that stuff is horrible for your rims.

 

. . . if I used that slime stuff, is that stuff as bad as fix-a-flat for my alloys?

 

Slime really wont hurt anything, the workse that will do is make a mess.
