Fronts do. I went through 6 tyres in 18 months when I had an EP3 lol. Some new Toyo T1R's were on it when I got it, lasted about 4500 miles

Jesus man, don't use T1R, they're terrible on a stiff car. Very old tyre. Sidewall of cheese.

Just realised it sounded like I was talking about tread, but I actually mean air.
I seem to have to put air in my tyres every week atm. My other car will go months.

I've heard from somewhere that if there is a slight puncture in your tyre this can cause them to deflate very slowly.
Its not a CTR EP3 characteristic anyway

Shouldn't lose any air in an ideal world.
Once every few months is normal.
Curbed wheels? slow puncture? how much pressure drop we talking?

Can someone explain to why Accord Type-S 2.4 have warp drive. Had a little run with one and the way he shot off into the distance shocked me. He wasn't a car length ahead, he was miles ahead. Only time I caught up was when we braked and then he'd shoot off again. They really are rocket ships!
Because the STD is slow
Down to like 10psi. I thought I had a slow puncture in one (which I still need to get checked, but they all go down quicker than I'd like.
Wheels are curbed quite badly.
Brand new potenzas.

I thought so too. I should have replaced the ATR with the Type-S. That thing does really shift, I am rather surprised. I had my foot nailed to the floor, yet nothing, it kept going and going. I feel rather humiliated to say the least.

My EP3 suffered from this. I had the tyre fitter grind off the old tyre sealant on the wheel which sorted it.

They really aren't that fast, quick for the size of the car and with it being NA but certainly not a rocket ship what car were you in and did the accord make any noise? If it was very loud then it was modified and if wasn't then it was standard or a remapped/modified diesel

I was in a mondeo st diesel. I was at half throttle until I caught up with him at a junction but next thing he was flying off again. Didn't make a noise, but it had 2 exhausts so I put it down to a 2.4 exec or type s. Maybe my car has a problem but that car was quick.

Yup, its an odd one if its standard and if its modified you have known because it would have been very loud but they can get up to around 250BHP NA if you have deep enough pockets, there is/was a guy by the name of Kano who has taken his that far

Well after owning nearly 10 EP3's and 4 FN2's, I've finally bought my first S2000. What a fantastic car!

Jesus, I had a 25 PSI figure in my head.
Take it to a tyre fitters and tell them you're having the issue!
