[QUOTE="luvtoride, post: 392732, member: 250"] I agree w/ cougar. If the dealer that did the mounting didn't wipe the rim (where it contacts the tire) & tire bead (where it contacts the rim) b4 mounting the tire, there could very well be a small amount of grit, etc keeping the rubber from making a tight seal against the rim. I watched Jeff Ashe mount a front tire on my bike last year. He cleaned both b4 applying tire snot to slip that new rubber shoe onto the rim. I never lose much air in that tire. [/QUOTE]
