You have 195 tyres on a 9" wide wheel.

Your tyres are leaking.

There are no punctures in the tyres.

Your valves are fine.

There is only ONE thing left that can cause the leak, and it is exactly what the tyre shops have been saying.

You're tyres are WAY to narrow for a 9" wide wheel. They are leaking because they are being stretched so far that the lip of the tyre is not fully contacting the surface of the wheel, and thus air is escaping. Sure, you could argue "but some people get away with 195 on 9 inch" but this doesn't necessarily mean ALL tyres (or in this case YOUR tyres) will seal too.

There is one way to fix your leak permanently. Get tyres that stretch less. i.e. the correct size or at least wider than 195.

If it's a fitment issue, you can always run some camber or pull the guards out a bit.

A tire that beads will hold air regardless of how much stretch its running. There are 4 reasons why it wont hold air. 1. the wheels are damaged where the tire beads eg. scratched, bent etc. 2. the valves are leaking. 3. if multi piece, they aren't sealed properly. 4. the wheel is cracked.

But there's already been enough posted about that.

My advice is, fit the widest tyre you can get away with. Roll your guards as much as possible, even pull them if you need to. Increase your camber a bit (depending on how much you have already, don't go like -4 or anything ridiculous).

Once you've got your guard clearance sorted out, ask wherever you go for tyres to fit a size that will clear. Hopefully the same width as the wheel or only 1-2 sizes less.

But to be honest, 15x9 +10 is a very unsuitable wheel size for a honda.. It's not going to be easy to get it to work..

16x9 +0 195/45/R16 on the front. Anything is useable.

I know im late to the party, hopefully when someone else has a similar issue though they don't read the first 6 pages.

Tires aren't balloons, they wont start leaking because they are stretched, they will leak because of the reasons I posted.

I have a doctorate in tyre stretching, come at me brah.

Is OP's wheel damaged at all?

I would like to know, because if it isn't, and the tyre and valve isn't damaged either, then it can only be one thing ;)

Stretch, yuck.

Yoloth

Potato gonna potate

the moment a tyre is stretched beyond what its supposed to fit, its compromised. even small stretch isn't 'safe', but then again people have very different definitions of 'safe'

By your logic the moment boost is increased on a standard turbo motor, the motor isn't safe, even if its half a pound.

The moment you put a larger exhaust on a car, its hurts the childrens ears and they cry.
