damn...generally tires deflate a bit in the cold but they dont go flat. You got a leak somewhere bud. :(

I had that same problem with my 90 Cavalier Z24 last year. Turns out there was a bad seal between the rim itself and the tire. OK Tire fixed it for me but it got REALLY REALLY cold one Friday night and my tired went completely flat.

Only cost me $15 to get fixed at OK Tire so not too bad but I ended up getting new rear tires anyway after it went flat on me for the billionth time

do you have rims (chrome) cuz if you do they tend to crack where the valve is and cut it open but thats if you have chrome rims

It also happened to me on my first car. The problem turned out to be a poor seal between the rim and tire. They usually put some liquified rubbery material there, and it seals it fine. Costs only 10 bucks to do.

I also heard that in some wheels that are cast out of molds, that there can be weaknesses in the metallurgy, causing repeated flat tires...even if your car is new and the rims are in perfect condition, they can cause this....

Just my $0.02

i had that problem with my 90 cavalier... parked on a slant in a car park and the tire would go flat... once it was a bad seal and once it was a screw:(
