I removed the wheel and can't find any visible damage to the tire. I will be doing the soapy water test around the valve stem tonight.

My question is how common would a valve/tpms leak be and can anyone think of any other reason a brand new tire would go flat or anything I might be overlooking?

I had the mounting done at Discount (after fighting with them a month to get the tires so I wouldn't be surprised if it was related to their labor.)

Thanks in advance.
It could be anything: install error, defective tire, etc. Checkout my thread about brand new Continental ExtremeContact DW: Brand new Continental DW and it blows up!
