“17" Goodyear efficient grip performance 2 small leak identified Hi, On my VW Touran 2019, 1.5 TSI, 17" alu oem wheels I have set Goodyear efficient grip performance 2 . There is a small leak lets say the pressure goes fro m 2.5psi to 2 psi in approx 7-10 days. The VW tpms warns me usually every 2-3 weeks. Im posting a new topic as I cant seem to upload pictures on the other one... Thanks to some help here I found the leak. See the pictures. I have no idea what is that roundish shape it seems smooth/rubbery and the hole clearly come from inside it. What now? Slime bottle? Glue? Or this thing that goes inside like a tire repair kit with the kind of rope thingy? Thanks!”

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
