Place the tire in a tank or pool of water. You will find the leak. It may be
a bad seal at the rim.

Subject: Slow tire leak


Hi everyone,
I have a slow leak in one of my tires.  It took a week for the pressure
to drop from 38 lbs to 24 lbs.  The tire is not very worn and I haven't
found any punctures.  I put soapy water around the valve stem and didn't
find any bubbles forming.  Any suggestions on possible approaches for
this situation?
   Thanks for your input.
