During cold weather conditions front tires lose tire pressure daily. Had to reseal 2 front tires. Obviously temp is a cause. Any way to avoid this issue? I'm "tired" of checking and replacing air and resealing in the coldest time of the year and I can't move south.

resealing should stop the leaks.

if you have tpms, you should be setting the pressures 2psi higher than the placard setting. if set right at the placard setting, every temp drop will put the pressures right at the threshold to set the tpm warning light on.


verify your pressure gauge is accurate.

How many miles on the rims/tires car? Factory rims? What year is the car?

Which tires do you have? Are they factory or replacements? Cheap retreads?


And how cold is cold? We have no idea where you live. Cold for me is around 15F at night with 32-40F during the day.

45K miles factory rims, 1997 Malibu SS, factory low-profile tires.

Northeast US -5F one morning when I went to work. Avg about 10-20F the last few days.

your in the rust belt. the bead seat of aluminum rims are probably so rusted on a vehicle that old. the tire and rims need to be broken down, cleaned, bead sealer applied and new valve stems installed. If they have done all this and its still leaking, either it wasn't done properly or time for new rims/tires.
