I dont know its too cold and dark out, ill check tomorrow. Im not sure if the crack caused the low tire pressure or not. Ill put some air tomorrow and hope for the best.

well i woke up today and noticed both (not just the passenger side) front tires were at 5psi, i put air in em and once i hit 35psi i hear air coming out the valve stems. I had to tighten the valve caps as hard as i can in order to keep the air in (at least stop the hissing noise of air coming out). Is this normal for stretched tires? The rear with the 245 seems fine but the front cant seem to hold air in with the 235??? Again im running non staggered 10.5 all around rims.

your tires shouldn't be leaking if installed properly. i run 235 on 10.5 and never have had a tire lose any air. i run 45 psi.

so what could be the reason? It seems to be coming out the valve stems. It wasnt like this the first day the tires were mounted cuz i actually kept the caps off for a day and no problem. You guys think it was due to me hitting the crap out of the cracks? Im kinda scared to even drive around with em now

you might want to replace the stem, not really sure, but it could be caused if its getting cold where you are the air would be denser and might have a slight leak that wouldn't be there in warmer temperatures.

go to a tire shop and ask them if they can tighten it up for you

Tighten the valve stem core. They sell the tool anywhere. It doesn't sound like stretchin is the problem
