I have a 1995 Saab 9000CS. I put on Hakkapeliitta Q's (185/65R15) every winter, on steel rims. They leak really badly. My mechanic doesn't find anything. Maybe when I take a turn, the bead is lifted off the rim momentarily? Is that possible? Sometimes, I have to fill one or two tires every two days. This is dangerous, because if I don't notice, I could drive on a very low tire, heat it up, and blow it out. This happened to me once. The tire got really noisy that time, so there was no violent blowout, but still, I don't want it to happen in any way. Any suggestions for what to do about this? Thanks. Tom Reingold Noo Joisy
