Default New tire is flat day after put on?
Tirerack sent my 4 Fuzion tires. I had them put on yesterday at les schwab in roseville, dustin was real nice. Everything was fine when I left. I come outside this morning to go to school, front left tire is flat.


What should I do? Have it repaired at Les Schwab? This sucks!

There a nail in the tire? If so, they will probably patch it for free.

Maybe the bead between the tire and rim wasn't sealed right. Also, could be a leaky valve stem.

I am thinking it is a valve stem problem... They either didn't change them, or one is damaged.

It is not tire rack, it was a faulty part installed. Tire rack supplied the tires, your shop supplied the valve stems.

Tire Rack is not at fault. I am surprised your shop didn't replace all 4 valve stems when they replaced the tires anyway...
