After picking up our 2012 326mks in May, one of the first things we did after we brought it home was check the tire pressure. Each tire had a different PSI; one was 70, two were at 90 and one was 84. The correct PSI should be at 80 for our trailer. We then balanced the tires as previously suggested from this forum. All the tires were at least 4 ounces off. After a couple of trips, we noticed one tire kept going down to 70 pounds every couple of days. We took the tire in to have it looked at; it was found to have a bad rim. It took a while to find the problem; the tech finally put the tire in upside down and found air escaping from the inside of the rim.
Just wanted to let people know if you have a tire that keeps going low, it may not be a bad tire or valve stem but the rim itself.
BTW, these are 16 inch aluminium rims not the heavy steel rims.
Happy Safe Camping!
