Ada 5 Indikasi Ban Tubeless Kerap Mengalami Tekanan Udara Menurun

JAKARTA, March 2025, Pay attention to the actual condition of the tires, ensure that the tire pressure is in accordance with the manufacturer's recommended specifications.

Not to mention tubeless tires, Daihatsu friends must know a series of advantages offered by this type of tire. Unfortunately, some users often complain about their vehicle's tubeless tires frequently going flat.

Here are 5 indications of a slow leak in tires, including: 

1. Punctured by Sharp Objects

Although more resistant to leaks compared to conventional tires, tubeless tires are not completely immune to sharp objects.  Sharp objects such as nails, glass, or sharp stones can still penetrate the tire and cause air leaks.

Generally, sharp objects that puncture the tire can remain lodged and unknowingly cause a slow leak. Therefore, if you notice a sharp object embedded in the tire, it is best to remove it immediately and patch it before a slow leak occurs.             

2. Slow Leak

A slow leak condition where the tire loses air gradually without any visible damage. Slow leaks are often difficult to detect because the holes or cracks are very small. 

Damaged or bent tire wires can cause slow leaks. These wires are located inside the tire wall and serve as structural support for the tire. Thus, when the structural cavity expands, the tire can become low on air.

3. Worn Surface

The bald surface of a tubeless tire can be one of the causes of frequent flats. The reason is that bald tires will have a thin surface and cause the cavity to expand between the tire wires. In addition, bald tires are not only prone to flats and leaks but also pose a significant danger to safety while driving. The smooth surface of the tire due to wear is like a ticking time bomb ready to explode at any moment.

4. Brittle Tire Condition

Besides the tire surface being bald, there is another issue to be aware of. Specifically, when the tire has exceeded its lifespan, causing the rubber to become brittle. Brittle rubber makes the vehicle's tires susceptible to slow leaks, especially in the bald areas.

This particularly occurs in old tires or those frequently exposed to sunlight and extreme weather. Additionally, brittle tires will make driving uncomfortable due to the tires no longer being soft.

5. Damaged Air Valve

Pay attention to the actual condition of the air valve. If this device is damaged or loose, it can also be a source of leaks. For example, when the valve is cracked or dirty, it can eventually cause air to escape from the tire. Additionally, a missing or poorly fitted valve cap can also be a cause of slow leaks. 

       The method for checking is easy. Simply apply water to the tip of the valve. If there is air producing bubbles, there may be damage or the valve is loose.
