Re: how to test for leak in tires? (itr_eg)
ive use to deal with this **** all day i use to work at town fair tire i would inflate it to 35psi or so and spray soapy water onto it make sure to check the valve stem and the tire bead to make sure its not leaking from there eighter also dont stick plug it they suck and most likely it will end up leaking again. have it patched from the inside as long as its not to close to the sidewall you'll be all set

Re: (sloz64now)
take the wheel off and dunk it in the pool..... that way you'll know where ALL the leaks are, should there be more than one.... i always get a weird look when i suggest that idea. i dunno why, it works really well....
