tire shops can do that pretty cheap and that's the best they'll put the tire in water to see where the leak is, may need new tires.

Go to the Auto Parts Store and, get the flat kit with the Reem, Plug Installer and, the Reddish Brown Plugs and, glue. Reem the hole, Put the gluestuff on the plug and, some on the hole, pop the plug inhalf way in and, half sticking out and, your all set in an hour! ""Note"" Push the plug in Slow, it will seem hard to push in at first but, then it gives way. (my front tire has a plug rolling around inside the tire from my first try) LOL.

Plus is cost you less than 10 for everything!

If you plug the hole follow the direction of the puncture....which 99% of the time will not be straight in.

the stuff is really easy to use, there is a alittle thing to take the innards of the air plug out by just unscrewing it and now there will be a hole leading into a flat tire and u use half the bottle in each tire, fairly cheap 2 and lasts forever, u run over a nail it fixes itself

Do not use slime or fix-a-flat. Been in the tire business for a few years and have seen that stuff do some horrible things to wheels.

Have the hole patched or plug by a local tire shop.

Speedy, why don't you fill the tires up with air, then with windex (or anything similiar) spray around the bead area and see if it blows bubbles, if it does, you found your problem area.
