Re: Bad rims.

I have recently been having a problem with my 1989 90 quattro and am
wondering if any one has encountered a similar situation or can
offer a solution.  The tires (Michelin MXV3's 195 - 60 HR 14)
consistently lose 10 - 12 lbs of air per week.  I have had the tires
re-mounted with new valve stems and the problem still exists.  The
tires have been checked for leakes several times as well.  This
problem started after I added a TAP enging chip and upgraded to BOGE
struts. I can't imagine that there is any relationship.  If anyone
has some insight as to what I can try to fix this problem I would
appreciate some help.
