[QUOTE="GPRIDER, post: 1459501, member: 857"] I have a leak in my rear tire. After very close inspection by my and a tech at a dealership neither of us could find anything in the tread. We both used soapy water all over the tire and no bubbles. I brought it home and submerged it in the sink up over the rim with 28 lbs of pressure and then with 50 lbs of pressure slowly rotating it around. No bubbles. Checked and double checked the valve stem and core. Seem to be good to go. So after I did all that, I put 40 lbs in it and let it set for 17 hours and checked it this morning. Lost 10 lbs. Went from 40 to 30 in 17 hours. Any ideas? GP [/QUOTE]
