[iceway]

Hi guys,

Well, this is my story. 1 and half month ago I had the passenger right back half of air. I took it to Toyota, check it and told me was fine.
Next day, the tire was flat. I took the car to firestone and changed the 4 tires (it was less expensive than Toyota).
2 weeks after changing the 4 tires, the same tire was flat. I took it to firestone, check the tire, any nail.. so they told me was fine.
2 days after it happened again. Firestone change valve stem and checked it out again.
3 days after they took the tire off, put some kind of sealant round it and put it back on the wheel. The same day was flat again and I have some kind of blue paint close to the wheel in the drive way even in my car.

So I went there 5 times and they told me that It is fine.

In addition, I have the spare tire in that place. Yesterday, I had the passenger right front flat too.

I don´t know what´s going on.
Please I need some help. Is it normal the blue paint??.

Sounds like the neighborhood kid is playing a joke on you and letting air out of the tires. The blue paint is normal. It's put on the whitewall of the tire.

I have to agree. Someone is playing games with you.

Thanks so much.
I had blue paint in the door close to the wheel. The firestone technician told me that It is weird for the paint to get up there..
I was thinking somebody got the hand dirty when he/she was getting air out and tried to cleaned in the door. I left the tire 2 days and picked up today and they have been checking for 2 days, any leaking...

I agree most probable cause is someone playing a trick on you.

But I did have a similar situation once and it turned out to be the valve stem. I had a flat, got it fixed, it was 1/2 flat after two days. The told me to get a new tire, which lost air again. Turned out the valve stem was leaking and they had reused the $1 valve stem from the old tire.

Maybe sleep in your car and catch the culprit.
