Two of your five tires have developed air leaks from the valve stems within a year of installation, with leaks appearing after driving. Your tire service center has repaired both instances and mentioned this is a somewhat common issue with this particular tire design. The repair typically involves replacing or resealing the valve stem to stop the air leak.
