Tire pressure history

Is there a way to see the tire pressure history on your tires, or can the dealer? Im pretty sure I have a tire thats slowly losing pressure from the factory, I've had to refill it up a few times and its always incongruently deflated vs remaining 3 tires. I want to see if the dealer will replace it under warranty.

I am unaware of any tire air monitoring feature like you describe.

Typically you need to bring it in, and the dealer will inspect and find the leak and fix it. Leaks, especially from road hazards are not usually covered by your new car warranty, so there will be a charge to dismount the tire, patch, remount and balance it. Perhaps $45 or so. If the leak is from a tire defect (rare), then it might have some sort of coverage, but usually by the tire manufacturer which your dealer would assist you with in replacing and obtaining compensation.

Les Schwab tire stores will, but they are only out West.

Link to BMW new car tire warranty and all the warranties from the various tire manufacturers they use

https://www.shopbmwusa.com/PDF/BMW_2...ide_032521.pdf

From what I see, none of the tire manufacturers cover road hazards to include cuts, punctures, etc. They do cover manufacturing defects within a specified time period and tread depth.

Unless you have tire/wheel insurance this wouldn't qualify as a warranty issue i believe, most likely a slow leak in the tire, a cracked or bent rim
