Thanks mate, so far my problem seems to be fixed with a sealer, but in the future i will switch to another tire for certain, i love the PS4S but it is certainly not the best Match for this wheel . I hope that Forum members will be aware of this to avoid recurrent issues Regards |

Never could get the PS4S to seal on mine - they should remove that tire from the recommended list.
I moved the PS4S to the EC-7 and they seal great. Bridgestone RE71-RS are now on the VS-5RS and seal no problem. |

I just got this combo installed on May 3, 2023. ~600 miles so far and no issues. Am I just getting lucky?

Mine seem to be doing well so far but i used a sealer and did the procedure of pumping them to 50PSI for 10 min then go back to 35PSI. Count your self lucky , if it ain't broken don't fix it but i suggest you monitor the pressure, guys on Porsche and Mustang Forums noticed slow leak that needs to be addressed after a week or 2 regards |

Well ! look back at their answer above on this thread but my advice to you ( if you do not track the car ) is this : Get a good shop to use a proper sealer on these knurling then pump it up to 50PSI and let it sit for 10 min unmounted before dropping the pressure to OEM level 35 to 38psi . this is what i have done and so far so good. Next time when these tires are worn i will switch to another tire brand and i will clean the wheels from the current sealer regards |

Adding to this, i've been driving about 250/300 road miles and have had no issues with the VS-5S alloys and tyre pressures.
But as soon as I went on track yesterday, I had 3 of the tyres gain pressure normally under heavy load. Unfortunately one of my rear tyres was losing air quite rapidly. I'm running Cup2's instead of the 4s's on 19x9.5" ET28/19x10.5" ET45. Had the tyre assessed, no air bubbles or punctures. Had the tyre resealed to the rim, valve needle replaced. Still had the same issue repeat on the very last session. It might not be an alloy issue but a TPMS seal but concerning to see. I've bought a new TPMS and taking it to another garage today to see if they can spot anything. Anyone else got any trouble shooting tips? |

As Mavus said, none of our wheels come with TPMS by default. Many of the chassis we sell wheels to don't even use the in-wheel sensors and often customers have sensors on hand already or want to run without in-wheel sensors and code out the warnings. We have them listed on the accessories section of our site if you want to pick up a set. -Tom

As an update on this thread , my wheels stopped losing air thus far but i did put a sealer , i do not track my car nor drive it hard really . the ps4s did last 3 seasons on my previous car so it's not because i baby it on purpose , i have no idea if this remedy will last for long but if it occurs again i will have to switch tires to a new brand .
question : is it easy to clean the rims knurling from the sealer if we decide to install new tires later ?? thanks |

Haven’t tried many PS4S alternatives, but have heard nothing but good things about Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 and SportContact 7, as well as Bridgestone’s Potenza Sport tires.
I’m personally running Bridgestone Potenza Race tires rather that Cup 2 Connects and have been happy all around with their performance (same quality feedback, quiet, and will hopefully last longer.) |

I'm running the Potenza Sports and they have been very good. (street only)

Apex needs to have an air leak warning about using PS4S on the VS-5RS. This issue is specific to this wheel-tire combo because the PS4S is installed on a very large number of oem wheels and other aftermarket wheel brands without issue. If it is due to the knurling then redesign the knurling but don’t force buyers to spend more time and money ATTEMPTING to address a known issue. Their knurling design used on other wheels hasn’t resulted in air leaks with the PS4S so why was the knurling design changed to an untested design on the VS-5RS? I’d be pissed if I wasn’t warned in advance of this issue with the PS4S, and then to be told “it’s the exception to the rule” (only true IF this was the one and only set to leak which is not the case). Next they walk you thru an approach that requires dismounting the tire, applying wheel sealant in apparently a very specific way, remounting the tire, pressurizing the tire to its max inflation pressure, holding max pressure for 10 min, and finally setting the pressure to 38 psi. Repeat process over again until it no longer leaks. I’d be asking for a FULL refund at this point. Period.
