I have a 2005 Mini Cooper S with run flats. My back two tire continuously go flat. I have had both checked. One had the bead seal cleaned and reset. The other had nothing wrong with it. They seem to alternate going flat. Currently, my passenger side tire is going flat within one day of fill up:mad:. Any thoughts?

Sounds like a bad valve or someone playing tricks on ya. We had a truck that we parked outside and ever once in awhile one of the tires would be flat in the morning. No consistency, just a random flat. I pumped it up and it would hold air. Found out one of the little punks in our area liked to go around and flatten tires at night. Thought it was funny.

if your tyres are the pirelli euphoria 17" they are common fro leaking around the bead area of the tyre. A good tyre garage shold most likeley be able to find where a tyre is leakin from. it might just need taking off and re seating with some bead sealer.
