    Yea my location actually says passenger rear but it is now passenger front since I rotated my tires. This was what I got in my truck too.

    Is that slime safe for tpms sensors? I remember using it when I was a kid in my quad and bike tires and it made a mess. I just need to get beadlocks and run self balancing beads inside. :burnrubber:Just aired up my tires to 60 and tried again with no luck. Maybe the leak is under a weight like some else suggested.

    Had a similar issue. Spent weeks looking for the issue. Ended up being a small dent on the rim on the interior side of the wheel.

    My neighbor who manages a tire shop is going to look at it Sunday for me and let me know what he thinks. If it’s the wheel he’s going to get me a discount on a set.

    Yes !

    And a deep tub like that where the whole unit (wheel & tire) can be submerged would be in order as well.

    You won't need any soap etc. to find the leak ~ merely follow the trail of air bubbles . . .

    Not sure if you have tried removing the tire and swapping it onto another rim… this would narrow down if it’s that tire or the rim.

    Looks like a classy time.
    All the bubbles got scooped out by my kids by the end. I’m completely over this damn wheel lol.
    I have not actually tried that but I’ll give that a shot this next week if I don’t end up buying new blacked out wheels.

    To close this thread my neighbor was able to find the smallest leak on my tire. It was on the sidewall in between the nubs. I know how I wasn’t able to find it but how couldn’t tire techs the 4 times brought it in. Ordered a new tire last week it will be here tomorrow. New wheels coming in next week ProComp Bandidos 0mm offset.
