if you have beads in your tires for balancing purposes you need to have long stems installed. The beads get up under the valve stem seat inside the tire and wont seal.
X2. I had tires installed at Les Schwab and had the exact same problem and it was caused by them using incorrect valve cores for the balancing beads. Took a couple of trips to get them all completely fixed correctly. I like Les Schwab because they went way out of their way to get it fixed, but not all of their techs seemed to understand this issue.
