    VERY slow air leak???? Can't figure out whats up with my tire. :-(

    The leak might not be large enough to blow bubbles after spraying them with soapy water. A tire shop that has a dunk tank is your best bet. There the tire/wheel can be submerged for a period of time. A small leak will produce a single, small, slow bubble at the problem area. I had a single...
