I just got new tires but one has a slow leak. I have to fill it up every 5 days or so. What is the best/cheapest way to fix this? It is annoy to have to fill it everytime I get gas. ---

I had a slow leak, but it was from a tiny pin stuck all the way through the tire. Dunntire repaired it for 20 bucks. ---

If you have alumin. rims they may be all nasty inside where the bead meets the rim. Same goes for the wheel weights- sometimes they’ll leak from that area. Whoever mounted your wheels probably never cleaned the rims and sealed them right. ---

squirt it down with soapy water. . .it could be a nail in the tire. Then depending how close it is to the side wall, you could plug it. (its probably from all that intense offroading you do) ---

also make sure your valve stem is tight…sounds dumb but it can make it leak. ---

Oh be a man! Only Tops would put the air compressor in the CORNER of the gas pumps. The corner. So you can’t easily pull your car up and fill your tires with air. ---

its probably just a rim leak… i see that all day long at dunn tire. the tire doesnt always seat right and will leak a tiny bit but as long as the bead wasnt ripped when it was installed it should be an easy fix ---
