Which brand of tires are we talking about? I'm thinking that when someone has a problem with a "China Bomb" that they should name the bomb maker.

Glad you caught the tire bulges.

I picked up a new BH that we ordered and found the tires under inflated. I inflated them to max ratings after a few miles traveld and wanting to retighten the lug nuts, decided to check pressures and put on my Doran TPMS. The Doran reported them not at proper 110 lbs. I pulled into an air pump and inflated them. Two days later alarms went off. Two tires under inflated. Filled them up again cold and went two more days. Alarms again.

Went to Les Schwab and had them all removed and checked under water. Two had leaking stems! Reason was the stems were not tightened adequately.

They tighten them and now 4000 miles later and over the Alaskan Highway, they are still properly inflated.

Makes me wonder just how many are under inflated leaving the dealers, or slowly leaking stems and causing many issues.

I was told by the dealer's shop all tires had been checked and aired up properly, interesting they did not know the Goodyear 614's required 110 lbs when asked :(
