I got a set of tires with the car I bought but they hadn't been mounted. Well I had them mounted up and noticed about three different times now that one is leaking, first two times I caught it at 20psi and this time it was down to 15. What can I do? The tires were from another member I guess and had been mounted but they obviously weren't driven on. Could it be a bad job mounting them?

Did they replace the valve stem when they were mounted? That will cause the leak or the bead not sealing right will too... Easy thing to do is run soapy water along the bead or stem, it'll bubble where it leaks.

I was gonna try soapy water, just thought it proly wasn't a hole and more a leak at the bead of the rim somewhere. Thanks for the tips tho
