[QUOTE="Dusty, post: 418459, member: 12345"] Similar problem with the rear tire. I removed the wheel and put it in the laundry tub with water just covering the rim/stem and patiently waited. Nothing at first, but then I noticed little bubbles forming then breaking away to the surface after about 30 seconds. I wiped the area and watched again - yep more little bubbles. Turned out that only one side of the wheel (drive line side) had these little leaks all along the bead. Resealed with some "seal grease" - OK now. It was losing about 2lbs/day - but that is really annoying after a while! [/QUOTE]
