Pat's bit about all things rubber brings to mind a problem I had last week. Check the valve stems on your wheels - especially if you have wheel covers instead of "dog dish & trim rings". My wheel cover on the right front evidently "walked" around and sliced into the valve stem. I'm replacing mine with metal stems.

Fortunately the air loss wasn't "catastrophic" but only a slow leak. I was lucky.
