as far as the wheels and tires not sealing 1st did you use new valve stems when you installed the tires? 2nd where the rims cleaned around where the bead seals? 3rd are you sure its the tire bead that is leaking air? Take a bottle with soapy water in spray down the tire around the bead on both sides of the wheel and around the valve stem. watch for soap bubbles. 4th if the wheels where used did you have them checked for cracks and bends that might cause the tire not to seal right. last thing you can try is to inflate to max pressure and let them sit to see if the bead will seal after a few hours.
question #2 no
question #3 no

 

yea, the shop i took them to had to remount them twice for the same reason...and the second time i had them mounted we sprayed them with soapy water on both sides and it was leaking from the back of the wheel on the bead on all 4 wheels...yes wheels are clean, they arent damaged at all, bought them brand new from Work..it wasnt leaking from the valve stems..and the last time they inflated them they put like 42psi in them and they held great for a week and it was nice to drive on the tires..they are awesome tires..but now today i went out to my car for my ipod and see that back right tire is flat

so i dont know what the hell to do

 

I'll buy the car off you.

 

lol no thats alright, im definitely going to get it fixed..unless you offer me some crazy amount of money

 

sounds like you tried everything that I have done before to get a stubborn bead to seal. You might just have a defective tire. If you got them from where you work just return it and have them get you another one. Most tires have a full refund up to 50 or 60 miles (something like that). I remounted a tire 8 different times before even marked where it was leaking turned the mark to a different spot and still had a leak at the same spot on the rim. did every thing that I could think of final I over inflated it let it sit 24 hours checked pressure and respray tire with soapy water and had no leak.
