m939a2 front driver tire leak

[tonyosman]

Ive noticed that after a few days my driver front tire goes flat. When I turn it off I hear no air leaks. When I start the truck the tire comes up fine. Only that tire goes flat? Brand new Michelin tires.

When you say brand new tires,are you saying you just had them mounted?

Shield off, Spray bottle with soap and water.....

No they are a year old so I mean there is no cracks in them. Ok I'll try that tomorrow. I was just wondering if it was a common issue or not.

I've found with most of my tire leaks on my A2's was the Wheel o ring. There is two different wheels on the five tons. One has a smaller stud and nut 7/8 or 15/16 the other nut size is I think 1 1/8. On the wheels with the larger nuts (1 1/ I found flaking rust between the rim half's on the o ring surface. The ten nuts the hold the rim together are locking nuts. Everyone I've done I had to heat each nut red hot to remove them. The wheels with the smaller nut size I've had problems trying to get o ring to seal. Seems like bad design on those.

Hopefully it is just a loose CTIS fitting.

My passenger front goes a little low when it sits too. My rim leaks at the hole for the valve stem. It isn't bad enough for me to tear it apart though.
