In a slightly annoying turn of events, a tire on MrsBlue's car is still suffering from slight gradual air loss. I mentioned dealing with this last year when we got her a new set of tires. But the leak remains, albeit slower than before, and it's in the same tire, so it would seem there's an issue with the rim. Dealing with this was weird from the start, because when we first looked into it, there was a nail in the tire. We assumed plugging that hole would put an end to this, but as it turns out the nail was the first of what now turn out to be two false leads in finding the culprit. This was a used car, and all four rims look like someone was parallel parking by feel, so they all have scrapes, so I guess have a decision to make about replacing the leaky one or all four. Either way I'm guessing third time will be the charm, since there's nothing left to change after this.
