    Anyone every have a similar experience where the TRD wheel was leaking air? MY tires are pretty new, and have no problems in it. But when I put the wheel in the water, I can see air bubbles coming out of the wheel portion near the sidewall..

    Toyota says they do not cover the defect.. any suggestions? Is it just time to get new wheels lol

    Take the tire off check for a crack or reseal the bead & if there is a crack I would find a wheel shop that can weld it for you on the in side & F toyota for not fixing that.

    Did you add the Pro wheels? If so, maybe the shop that installed them damaged the bead of the tire slightly during installation thus causing it not to seal properly. It's easy to do. I teach auto tech and no matter how much I stress this to my students they will destroy the bead on tires regularly. Luckily it's only worn out, used tires that they practice on.
