Fuggin' Tires...

[Stoneman]

My rear rain tire won't hold air. I mounted 'em myself last year, but never got to using 'em. I had 'em in a heated area pretty much all winter. I changed the valve core thinking that may be where it was leaking from. Nope...

I tried the soapy water thing too, but can't seem to find where it's leaking from. It's a brandy new tire too...

I'm thinking maybe I should try to find a shop that'll break the bead and try to reseat it? I dunno, but I'm running outta time here!

if you can't find the leak with the soap and water...I'd look at the rim itself, could have a crack in it.

The wheel itself held air when JC had it...

Fill up the bath tub and put it in there...you'll find the leak...

Then you got Squirrels letting the air out of the tire when you aren't looking....

Are you checking for leaks with the soapy water with air in the tire You did say they don't hold air

Even the ever so smallest leak will show up with the soapy water and spray bottle trick, that is of coarse if there is air inside it that has a higher presser than the air outside it

true, true... but it can be a helluva lot easier to find a small / slo-o-ow leak in a wash bin or tub, IMHO.
