Default woke up to a tire with low air

After putting my wheels on yesterday, i woke up today to find the back right is low on air. The shop that mounted and balanced them yesterday seem to have done a good job but maybe something was faulty like a valve stem? Im going to take the tire off soon to see if i ran over anything, which i hope didnt happen. Is there anyway air can leave after being put on for the first time or settling?

Did you notice low air yesterday?

The tire may be defective and cant hold air properly, thats always a possibility. Go fill up the tire again and see what happens.

Im sure they would, but thats a phone call youd have to make to them for sure.

Obviously if you bought a tire recently and it doesnt hold air, they should replace it.

Just check the valve stem and the wheel weights. Some times the clip on weights will make the tire loose air from the bead. I would just take it back to the shop.
