Klaw fronts leaking?

[RedRaider]

Does anyone else have problems with the kenda klaw mx fronts leaking around the bead? I've had them on 3 different sets of wheels so i know it's not the wheels. They've leaked since they were new. Does anybody else have this problem?

Hmm, I plan on getting some front Klaws...

Anyone else have this problem?:ermm:

mine leak sometimes its kind of annoying but i guess its no big deal filling them up

[cdalejef]

No problems here

my rears leak very slowly, like after a month or so i have to throw a few blasts of air in them.

If you put them on yourself, then it might be possible that you ripped a little bit of the bead putting them on.

boy that stinks. it is a pain for me to have to refill after a few days or so. i was considering those tires too. my buddies holeshot xc's do that to on one tire. i have heard a few people say they had that problem too with holeshots.

My rear klaws are fine it's just the fronts that i have problems with.

yes, i realize that. it is just easier if they held air like they were supposed to. i am wondering if just the beads or something wasn't perfectly clean when the tires went on.

I have been busy with work and remodeling the house:ermm:

I was just messin' with you in the other post, if you were as finicky about tire PSI as you are about jetting................:D

My one razr front leaks slow, i have to air it up about every 2 to 3 weeks. My one rear does too, but i only have to air it up like every month and a half. I'm gonna put some slime in them soon.

yeah, i knew you were just messing with me. :D however, i am not as particular with the tire pressures. the reason being is that i need one of my rear tires to be at 8psi and the other to be at 4psi for the bike to pull straight. i am thinking one of my tires is make a tad different. i took them off and weighed the (the scale wasn't the most accurate) and one was a 1/2 lighter. it seems as this tires wears a little faster too. i have tried to rotate the tire to the other side and i had no better luck. i think it is just how the tire is made and i don't like messing with it. so i run 8psi in one and 4 in the other. :huh

klaws are on the way after x-mas and i change my psi for everywhere i go so to put some air in wont be a big deal
