Thanks for the info in this thread, I have had a naggin slow leak in my passenger-side front tire. It has a really slow leak and I cannot find any screw or other defects in the tire. Recently when it dipped below 40 degrees in Houston I have been losing 8-10lbs of pressure overnight, but if it stays warm I only lose 1-2lbs. I am going to get these "grommets" checked tomorrow.

more than likely you have a retaining nut that is not torqued correctly. you may want to look at that before you pull sensor, etc.

Anyway, it's a sign right after you enter our housing development. It's sorta true - but there are actually more adults at play than kids!!!

It should have a small ZR1 on it...then we would know who is REALLY at play.
