Why lie that it deflates in minutes? Go do it to your tire, a pebble that fits in, can only produce a slow leak. Now removing the entire valve stem core and removing the cap, that’ll deflate it in about 10-15 minutes. That’s still vastly longer than the claimed “minutes”.
Post a video, prove it dude. So removing the core and cap takes over 10 minutes, but somehow magically a pebble reduces that to minutes? Prove it dude, your anecdotal evidence is clearly a made up lie.
I’ll admit I’ve mostly been mindlessly scrolling this thread to this point, so I’m not 100% sure what others have said, but removing the valve stem core will deflate a tire in seconds. You might want to unscrew slowly, to avoid the core launching across the parking lot as the air pressure behind it will likely send it flying, but once it’s removed a tire should be completely flat in 15 seconds or less.
Yeah, the speed of the rock/bb in the cap will vary a lot depending on how far it depresses the valve stem core, and the tightness of the thread on the cap. Minutes seems absolutely unrealistic though; at the rate of the video you shared that’s probably a good 6-8 hours. I’m sure with some optimization (larger “rock” to press the valve in further and a maybe some cuts in the the thread to allow faster release of air), you could get that down to the hour or two range, but you’d also risk someone finding it easily as the noise of escaping air would be quite a bit louder.
And here is a blog post talking about doing this as a prank, claiming it takes about 2 minutes of time. It’s the same process as letting air out using a screwdriver to push down the valve pin.
Are you claiming that takes hours, too?
I’ve not done this, nor do I intend to, but your claim that someone is going to come to their car, not notice the tyres are and have been loudly hissing for hours, drive away and crash on a highway are, quite frankly, ridiculous.
This video says over night and shows it’s a slow leak. So now we both have video with claims that contradict each other… huh, if it takes minutes, why can’t you provide a video showing this…? Yet mine shows without a doubt, it’s a slow leak. Can you prove otherwise……?
Why the hell do you continue to lie and post shit that doesn’t remotely prove your point lmfao. Nothing you’ve provided as source supports anything you’ve said.
As you’ve said you haven’t done this, if you actually have, you would know it doesn’t take a few fucking minutes like you’ve claimed and provided 2 sources that doesn’t corroborate… you got any concrete proof? Or are you gonna show again how you aren’t the sharpest crayon in the package…?
Two sources and neither show a tire deflating on minutes, you seriously still want to claim the same asinine thing while providing nothing to back it up?
Wow, if you use a different method you get a different result, what a revelation. Notice the distinct lack of a hissing sound when you use a bb instead of something larger? Idiot…
What you’re saying produces a slow leak.

It’s not a few minutes, why the obvious lie?
Anyone who has actually tried this know it’s not that fast.

Are 10 minutes not minutes to you? Should I’ve said 1/6 of an hour?
I posted a video already of the process, you can hear loud, audible hissing. This is not a slow leak. Here is another one:

Your video doesn’t show a tire deflating in either case…
