First figure out where the air is leaking from. Put your wheel on the ground and fill the outer lip where the tire meets the rim with some dish soap/water solution, or better yet liquid car wash soap…do this on both the inner and outer side. You’ll know where it’s leaking from when the soap starts to bubble up. When you figure out where the leaky section is, deflate the tire and pop that area of the bead. Sometimes just re-setting the leaky section of bead and cleaning the lip of the rim will stop the leak without removing the whole tire. If in your soap test the soap doesn’t bubble up do the same thing on the base of the valve stem. If it bubbles then your stem is shit and you need a new one. Also check the top end of the valve stem to see if the inner core part is screwed in tight…you need one of those little nipple shaped valve stem tools for that. If none of that helps then go ahead and check all your grounds. ---

When your rready to remoutnt he tire, make sure you use lots of quick start with the bead sealer, then light it, not only will it seat the rim, but the bead sealer will keep the fire going! Sadly, I;m talking from experience. lol ---
