i haven't done mine since i bought the wheels about 6 weeks ago

* i didn't even check the pressures anytime so they might not have ever been done

How did you not notice rob

I span my nova once on 3 balds and one with tread had 8psi in

Had only just started driving and didn't have a clue. Tyre pressures and tread are 100% important to keep checked.

You may have fucked the inside of your tyres running them at 5 psi.
