There has to be an answer for this somewhere on the forum, but I could not find it.
4 yr old MS 19” stock wheels. I run summer and winter tires - using the same wheels. Mileage is 68k. I notice that I drop several psi every few weeks. Just put new winter tires on in late October. Visited the tire shop about a week ago and had them add 4-6 psi to each tire. That made sense w drop in temp. Today after driving for 40 mins in 35 degree weather, I checked and they are down 2-3 psi from last week.
I have a bad back, getting better as I’m 5 weeks out from having had decompression surgery. In my case fixed the worst one but left other issues. Some humor here - doc said my back is like a jenga puzzle; take out too many pieces…. then I would require multi-level fusion. Point being, I have a while before I will be doing deep squats or bends..
SO, instead of dropping by weekly to the very nice tire shop to have air put in, would new wheels address this, or am I using a sledgehammer to put a nail in so to speak? I can probably come up with a plan B or C if this just “normal“ for the car. No reason to spend $500+ on wheels if it makes no difference.
Thanks.
