I have always had issues with my tires going flat after they sit for a few days. I have replaced tires twice and rims once with the same result. I have even put sealer on the bead with the same result. I put the whole tire(s) under water and see no leaks. Should I start using Slime? What are the pitfalls of using? I remember someone once saying that the person who changes your tires next will swear at you for the stuff leaking all over the tire machine...

I put tubes in the front tires - problem solved.

 

Replace the Valve core. I've had good luck with those when all else seemed fine. Plus, it is a cheap fix.

 

I had the same problem with my 08 Outlander. Finally, I took it in to the dealer about a month ago and said "fix it!" He broke the tire down, cleaned the rim thoroughly, lighly sanded where the tire mounts, changed the valve stems and the remounted it.

So far it looks good.

 

I did the same thing, and no more problems.
