I have been letting my crx sit for a few weeks after i got my speeding ticket and have just been working on it as a project. I have noticed that both back tires went flat but not the front ones. This is odd because the back tires are dated newer than the front tires. What could be the cause for this?

how old are they? id it cold where you are storing it? sounds like some dry rot on the tires are they stock tires?
or someone let your air out lol

They are like 2008 and the fronts are 07 but the fronts are fine. Idk who would let the air out of them. The tires are Nitto NT-450 extreme performance btw.

ohh okay

Just air them back up and see if they go flat again...

If so it could be a small small leak at the valve stem... or you could have punctured them with something (nail/tack/etc) that allows them to leak air very slowly.

Usually easier to jack it AFTER it is pumped up, but we're talking tires here.

Sounds liek my subaru. Has same deal go on, aluminum wheels corroded around bead so I took them to a friend who has a tire/alignment shop and he pulled tires, scrubbed clean, and sealed tires back on. Took care of it for about a year and was 20 bucks. time for me to do it again, but i think new steelies and tires are in the future.

bad air valve..

Well me and my friend pumped the tires up and heard a noise as if air was leaking from them...we found what looks like a half-inch knife gash in the side walls of both the rear tires...which is why they went flat and wouldnt pump back up...i guess that means sombody knifed my tires

That would be a good reason why they won't hold air.
