Well. I don't really understand whats going on or what could cause this, or if its just a wierd coincidence but heres the story.

I had my car jacked up for about a week or so in the front doing various things. After the week or so I dropped my car and everything looked fine, even the tires. I drove around town for a bit and all was good. Then i went out of town and out of nowhere my car shifted probably 3-4ft to the side while going 55-60mph. Not a good feeling. I pulled it over and noticed that my passenger rear tire was flat. Had a friend bring a pump over and we got it refilled and I made it home. a few days later my tire was completely flat from just sitting in the garage. Took it in to a local place and they said a belt in the tire blew. Got a new Fusion ZR1 tire for my car. I have not used that set of tires since. But I put on my old stocker chrome gst rims for a little while before it started getting cold (this was awhile back). But from my car just sitting there I noticed that I had to keep putting air in the rear passenger tire. Now I have never ever had a problem with either set of tires before this. And the fact that it's in the same spot is just beyond me. Anyone have any clue whats going on? Because I don't, and before I throw on my new tires and rims for the summer I'd like to know what you guys think about this. Coincidence or Not? I have no idea :ohdamn:
 
I say coincidence. I run the Fuzions and like them a lot, and was surprised how well they do in snow.

I'll bet five bucks you have a nail or screw in that leaker. But check the valve stem core, too.
