So I just put on my winter tires a little over a week ago and today I noticed two of the tires (both on passenger side) looked a little low!
When I used my digital tire pressure reader my front passenger side was 21 (should be around 32-34) and my rear passenger side was 11!
I checked to see if it could be a nail but didn't find anything. Then i sprayed some soapy water around the rim to see if the air is leaking out and guess what i found.
Here's the pic:

So as u can see it bubbling which means air is coming out but the otherside is completely clean (no bubbles or foaming).
Now my question is: is this something that happens sometimes with new winters and u just need to drive it a few times and let the new tire/rubber settle in to the wheel? Or is this definitely not going to correct itself and i have to get it re-mounted and balanced?
