Got a tire with a slow leak. 4 days sitting & it goes from 85PSI down to about 30. Carefully checked the tread...twice, for anything piercing it. Nothing. Metal valve stem seems tight. Now what? Have not checked valve itself with liquid soap.No real big deal since I carry a 130# PSI compressor but it is a nuisance.

Could be a bad stem or a bad bead or a cracked rim

Just run water slowly over it. You will see the bubbles

All of a sudden my 2 outside duals will lose air on a sometimes basis. Not running down the road, or just sitting at home. Seems like right after we get home and parked. Can't find it with leak detector either.

I've had leaks in tires that only a dunk tank will find.

Get it fixed.

A slow leak may develop into a FAST leak very quickly. Rolling down the road at 60+ mph when that happens may result in a catastrophic event. Get it fixed asap...Dennis

Spray soapy water on it section by section and let it sit.Include the beads and the stem. The bubbles will give it away, some are darn tricky to find.
If they are the original tires on a 07 it is time to replace them anyway

Take it in asap to find where it is leaking from. Slow leaks on the road equal disaster.

It most likely is rust on the rim not seating properly. Dunk tank will find that. Been there done that before. Tire shop found it. Steel brushed the rim no more leak.
