Slow tire leak....what do I do?
#4
If there is a hole you can't find put about 15 PSI in and use a mixture of water and dish soap and pour it over the tire as you rotate it. If you can't find a spot that starts blowing bubbles it's hard to say where it is. If you've tried having a tire store de-rim, clean the rim, glue, and re-install the tire and it's still leaking Slime does work great. Deflate the tire until it doesn't let out anymore air hanging up off the ground. Squeeze in a bottle of Slime after taking out the valve inside the tire stem. Put the valve back in the stem and inflate and ride around. Riding around or spinning the tires in midair will distribute the Slime. You may end up having to replace the valve inside the stem afterwards as it can get gummed up by the Slime.

If you ever plan on changing or removing your tire for any reason I would avoid the Slime. That is some nasty shiat to have to work in, on, and around. Seems like you can never clean it off of the wheel when you go to change tires. Just my experience though.
Soapy water and a little air pressure go a long way in locating said leak and tire plugs work very well. No muss no fuss.
