Default those with racing hart c2 evo... leaking air..?

my front tire valves are leaking.. whenever i push it to right or left, it's venting air... do you guys have the same problem?

i realized that the holes for tire valves not tight enough.. are my racing hart's c2 evo defect? rear tires are ok, and the valves are tucked in.. but my two front ones are sticking out too much, causing air to leak if i touch it, or sometimes if drive it... what can be done to resolve this? i bought'em new... thanks for any input..

take them back to where you got the tires mounted, sounds like they didn't do a good job of installing the valve stem

I see that you have c2 evo's as I do on my teg, mine do not leak air but maybe you could help me out here...
I put my RH C2 Evo's on yesterday along with the center caps that came with them. Well today I noticed a clicking sound coming from rear wheels and finally found out the caps were loose but the bolt type thing that holds them down could not be tightned or loosened anymore. I came home really pissed off and managed to get one of the rear ones off, I found out that a few of the threads are stripped (in different places) on the bolt type thing and on the actual wheel itself. I cannot find out what could cause this and taking the center caps off the front wheels is fine, it's just the rear...I'm so mad!!!

i never had that problem, however, the wheel could be misinstalled, tilted little bit, causing that scratch whenever it is spinning.. make sure all the nuts are secured properly, if you do it yourself, do it zig zag pattern, one across the other, i'm sure you know this already.. could be damaged rotors too.. i have no idea how your wheels got stripped..
