1st off guys... Merry Christmas and a Happy 2006!

now, I got a damn annoying problem I wondered if anybody had any opinions.
I have the same wheel and tyre set up all round, Antera 309's with Nankang's.
About every 2 weeks I get to my car to find either 1 of the back tyres flat, they have been checked, no slow punctures, no valve leaks, definately not kids messin' around. Once they have been pumped up again they're good to go, until next time :confused: happens with both rears but no problem with the fronts. :shrug:

Cheers y'all

Get the tyres refitted, and the edges of the rim cleaned. Used to happen alot to me with my last car.

I remember a problem with the classic Scoobies. They used to get phantom punctures and it turned out to be porous wheels, a problem with the casting techniques. I hope thatr this isn't your problem but it's something to investigate.

Thanks for the replies guys, I'll try the cleaning and refitting along with the WD40 ideas 1st, strange as it's just the 2 rears though :confused:
Then I guess I'll need to look into the wheels :(
