| tyres going flat To answer the statement regarding tyres going down overnight, it is quite normal foir tubeless racing tyres to go down frequently after being used. Unlike street tyres, racing tyres have very lightly built carcasses with the aim of saving weight.
Secondly racing tyres are designed to be used in very specific conditions within a small range of pressures, unlike a street tyre which must be able to operate safely when neglected, holding pressure over extended periods of time (who checks the pressure of their car tyres every day?). A racing tyre may be checked every hour.
This leeds to a fall in the user friendliness of racing tyres in general, this extends to them going flat when left unattended for periods of time. This is not to say that you dont have a puncture, however with experience in go-karts, mini-moto and full size race bikes i have come to accept that racing tyres go flat even when in pristine condition.
