So just drove it and after sitting it dropped to 22 psi, still don't hear or see any signs of air leaking but it has to be. I'm guess valve stem. Just pumped it back up to 35 and I'll try to get it to my guy before he closes. Hopefully I'll have time to get home and grab a valve stem

Got it over at Discount Tire, apparently I got some kind of warranty on the tires, even though I didn't purchase the tires from them, they did mount and balance them for me. I called them earlier since my buddy said he couldn't get to it today and they looked me up and said I got tire protection on it. Hopefully they can get it figured out. It was already down to 24psi since 12:40 today so it basically dropped 11psi in 4hrs.

Well last update, they found a small nail in the tire, literally took the tire off and almost couldn't find it even in the tub they put it in. They called me out there and then one of the techs noticed it, you could barely see the air bubble. Cost me nothing, they patches the hole and I'm all good. On another note the dealership had stripped one of the lug studs on my Wheel spacers the last time they rotated my tires, so discount was having a heck of a time getting the tire off. I noticed it when I was taking it off this morning. They ended up snapping it off so I'm considering removing all of them and rolling with the tires tucked. Been thinking about doing it for a while but haven't had any motivation to do it, now i think is as good a time as any. I'm pretty sure I can roll with them without spacers and not rub. Max tow, wide axles, 37 12.5 17, what's y'all thoughts on that. Could just order another wheel spacer but I'm kinda tired of all the crap getting on the side of the jeep honestly.

@Discount Tire it may be time for me to price out some wheels for mine in a 17x8 or 17x9. I'm looking for some in all black and steel.
