What is Cry02 and how does it work?

before i replaced it i would look it over for a nail in the tread ... maybe get some soapy water and dump over it and try to find the leak ... if its not bad i would pull the nail out and plug it ... u can find a little cheap plug kit at an autoparts store ... its worth a shot imo especially if the tire isnt too worn ...

It isn't really unsafe, If you would get 1 can of the fix a flat, name brand or generic, it would most likely fix the thing & you wouldn't have to keep paying for air. Just remember, when you get a new tire put on, let the person putting the tire on know about the fix a flat.

Should adjustment of Camber be included in basic Wheel Alignment Charges?

If the tire shows no obvious puncture, defect or wear, or the rim doesn't appear to be out-of-round, then apply a mixture of dish soap and water around the edges of the tire to look for bubbles. That would indicate a small leak. Chances are, if you have to add air every few days, there's a nail, or at least a small hole in the tire.

THe bead on the rim or the stem valve leaks, put some spit on your finger, and place some over the stem valve when you fill it, to see if it blows the spit off, by bubbling through. If ok, then dismount tire and seal lubricate the bead, this generaly stops the slow leak.

Yes, this could be dangerous, especially if you are on the freeway. If you have a blowout you could have a serious accident and either hurt yourself or worse someone else.

Please, get it fixed, for your safety.

Where is the shift lock release button on a 1997 pontiac grand am?

I bet it is a tire valve leaking around the rim. Take it to a tire shop or a service station that works on cars. The mechanic will check it and replace the valve if necessary and should take the tire off the rim and clean around the rim where the bead goes. He should check for a leak after doing that. You should not have to pay more than $5, maybe $8. My shop only charges $5. That includes the new valve.
