Okay on my JEEP we have brand new tires and so so condition wheels.
But almost everyday now we have to put air in the tires because of a leak that i've found in a spot that's new to me.

there are no holes or punctures in the tire but when you press on the tire where the rim meets the tire air starts to come out.
its not all around the wheel but rather in one spot.

why the hell is this happening? :thinking:

you probably got trash caught in between the bead of the tire.
clean it out & reseal it

corsion or dirt can cause it to leak air i had the same problem on a car before deflated it and put some cleaner on the edge and used a scrubber it held air there on
