Slow leak, guidance on how to proceed

[oldskoolboarder]

2025 CT4V BW MT, stock. My left rear tire continues to have a slow leak. Fortunately, my Miata has a pump so I can fill it from time to time. Clearly something going on. I've never had a car w/ run flats, is this a fixable thing or do I need a new tire?

As long as the hole is not close to the sidewalk then any tire shop can fix it. Recommend patch and plug for best results. Note you are not supposed to track on a patched tire.

Set an appointment with discount tire online, or you can also look into visiting additional local and reputable tire shop options.

Good luck and hope it all works out for you. Happens with the best of us.

It depends on the cause. It could be a puncture where patching depends on location and wear, or the valve stem.

Make sure they do a patch not just a plug. Even better if they do both.

Pretty sure the 4BW doesn't have run flats and it should have come with its own pump in the trunk where you'd expect a spare to be.
