Flat Tire

Anyone ever had their tire deflate ? I had to put air into the same tire twice. It was within a 5 day time span. I took it to a tire shop and they couldn't find anything wrong with the tire. Both times the tire went pretty flat.Any ideas? Maybe its a really slow leak? or some jackass messing around. It has been pretty cold but I don't really think that makes a difference. I drive to and from work in the city. (about 15kms both ways).

thanks guys

You have a leak go to another shop the kid probally just didn't look hard enough.

Check the valve stem and check the core in the valve stem
Kaufman Tire will repair them for free if I remember correctly
The tire needs to be sprayed down completely to check for leaks a quick visual check doesn't do crap.

Go to another tire shop.

I had something like that wjth a tire that came on the car when I bought it. It would hold air for a week then would suddenly go flat. Mostly after driving on the highway. I needed new tires anyway, and when they took that one off it was clearly a bad repair on a previous puncture.
 
changed the tire stem today and the tire pressure even held up for about a week. I hope that was the problem.
 
if it starts leaking again mix up some soapy water and spray down the entire tire. If you see it blowing bubbles it means you have a leak.
