Definitely doesn't sound like a Walmart, Goodyear, or Kumho problem. Sounds like you just need to go buy yourself some new rims or a new car. There's No way 2 different sets of tires, from two different manufacturers are leaking the same way. If they're aluminum alloy wheels that have some type of clearcoat, sometimes the clear breaks down where the tire bead seats and can cause very slow leaks, cast aluminum wheels can also just become porous over time. If they're Steel wheels, they could be rusting through. You could also have leaking valve stems/tpms. And then you also have the obvious psi drop when the weather gets colder. My suggestion is to pull off the rim and tire that loses pressure the quickest, fill up your bathtub and submerge the rim and tire under the water to see where the air bubbles are coming from. I can just about guarantee the leaks aren't the tires fault unless you've run over some type of foreign object.

This is around how these tires are always priced. Some may be very slightly below typical but the list prices on the ones showing a 50%+ strikethrough discount are a joke. I've had 215/50R17 in my cart for nearly a month and the price hasn't changed.

That being said, based on my research when looking for a new set of tires for my old beater these seem like a good budget tire, especially if you live somewhere it doesn't snow.

Are these better than the Solus TA31? I need a 205/55R16 because one on my car keeps losing pressure.
TA31 excels in the touring department...quieter. KU27 has better dry grip and stiffer sidewall for less rolling motion during hard cornering. Remove the tire and put in in water. Apply a plug patch if the leak is in the thread area. Replace valve/valve core if you see leak at this location. Failure to clean the rim prior to tire installation can cause leak at this location.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank JasonStern

Obligatory if you order this, make sure to check the manufacture date stamped on the tire. If it is over 3 years, send it back. Likewise, check the origin of manufacture. If it is not South Korea, send it back.
Otherwise, I had good luck with a set of Kumho tires in the past. Nothing overly impressive from a grip/longevity/weather standpoint, but priced well.

This. My last tires were Goodyears made in Chile and they didn't hold up at all.

My Kumko tires are made in USA.

The 245/40R19's for $106 are a pretty great deal. I bought them from Walmart in August of 2022 for $97ea. and i've been pretty happy with them. For me they're a 3 season tire as I have a set of dedicated winter tires and rims, so I can't speak to how they handle in the snow. They are quiet, ride pretty smooth with little to no thumps going over uneven pavement, and they seem to handle and brake fine. I'm not crazy about the hydroplaning resistance though. Almost all my past tires when new, and with full tread had no issues with hydroplaning these Kumhos seemed to. And obviously the hydroplaning resistance hasn't gotten any better as the tread has worn down. As far as wear, I've put about 20,000 miles on them so far, and should be able to get at least one if not two more years out of them. Quality tires in my 245/40-19 size are almost always $200+ ea., so even with the hydroplaning issues I really dont think you'll find a better tire in this size for under $110.

Any news about free install deal at Walmart? Like it was last year, buy 4 get free install?
If you buy tires from Walmart they will Mount them for free but they do charge for balancing. If you're a Walmart Plus member, you get extra perks like a road hazard warranty.

Got a set for $65/tire last month. Price nothing too slick. This is a budget tire that has worked well in dry and rain so far.

So, in the OP I can see 215 65 R15 and R17. What about R16?
