easy thing to do is mounted another tire thats the same size. if that one seals up ur old tire is has a damaged bead.

Similar situation happened to me before. The reason for leakage was because in the process of mounting them on, somehow the sidewall of one of the tires ripped, so therefore i had a leak. Realized this after i had gone to the tire shop back and forth for repair and finally saw the sidewall messed up.

yes the brand new yokohama was thrown away after. I had to rock a used one. Same thing with me. I leave the tire shop all happy, get home, rest, then get back on the G 2hours later and flat again.
But if your sidewalls are 0k then its something else.

thanks fellas
Unless you're running like a -20 on that rim there is absolutely no need to run that small of a tire.
