Anyone had a situation where the tyre doesn't look or feel particulary flat but get a 0 psi reading from the gauge which is not the case for the other three. Possible valve issue or something? Air seems to be coming out of it at a slower rate which is all I can identify at the moment. Just seems a little odd.

Edited to say that I can't find any obvious damage to the tyre ie nails,screws etc

probably a sticky valve core. If you have a pump get a valve core remover (possible with thin nose pliers) unscrew the core (might be worth letting air out 1st else core could be lost as the sudden rush of air blows it away) check for wear /damage if ok refit and reinflate, test pressure. if you dont fancy this try tightening the valve core slightly to see if its nipped up. If you have the mechanical skills of a gorrilla with a sledgehammer, get a professional to look at it

Thanks for your knowledge on that Mac. Gives me something to go on. Might also try a little WD40.
