I just had some tires I bought off Ebay mounted on my stang and one of them has a slow leak. I've checked several times for any kind of punctures and I can't find any. The valve stem is new too and dosn't seem to be leaking. What else could it be?

spray soapy water on the rim's weights... i bet its bubbling from one of them

If it's somthing like that should I take it back to who mounted it or will they probably not fix it b/c I didn't buy the tire from them?

Yeah, it`s a rim leak for sure. Take it back where they were mounted and have them re mount and balance the tire. Make sure they clean the lip of the rim really good and put on the sealer. If you paid them to mount them, then they should fix it without a problem.

Ok I did the soapy water thing andI founda tiny pin hole on the sidewall.How can I fix it?

AdderMk2

you cant... time for a new tire

Yea you cant fix holes in the sidewall because there are no steal belts running through and it is unsafe to fix

sprostang

Yeah, like said above. Can`t fix the sidewall leak. I thought you checked the whole tire for leaks thats why I thought it was a sure rim leak. Well anyway that sucks. Thats why I wouldnever buy used tires.
