I bought Blizzak LM 22's on ASA KA3's from tire rack. When I put them on, one was flat. It leaked at the sensor. T.R. replaced the sensor and I took it to a local place to repair. Then when the temps went down to about 20 another sensor leaked. Same deal, replaced and fixed. Now one of them is losing air when I'm on the Parkway. I top it off at 35psi, within 30 min of 75-80 mph driving, the light comes on and the tire is now 25psi. This has gone from a minor inconvienience to a real pain in the ***. Especially when I don't have a spare. Planning a trip based on where to fill up your tires is crazy. Has anyone else experiened this problem. Is it just a tpms thing of does tire rack carry cheap inferior sensors? Thanks for any input.

I'm guessing either the sensors have not been installed correctly or they don't fit on your wheels correctly.

I believe Tire Rack uses Mazda OEM sensors. I have my snow tires mounted on a second set of 18" stock wheels and have had not problems with leaks.

I wonder what Tire Rack has to say about the problems you're having?

I just got back from having the tire repaired. They showed me a sensor sleeve from Chrysler that has an O ring attached. So they put that one on with a little tire seal. Now I'll just wait and see.
