Losing pressure fast..

[copter]

I just got Sand Stars mounted on C-Series wheels and for some reason a front tire is losing pressure FAST... The tire is 22x8x10 (rib) and the wheel is 10x5 C-Series. I mounted the tire myself and took it to a tire shop to mount the valve stem and set the bead. Last night I inflated the tire to 35 lbs.; Tonight I found it at 7 lbs. WTF???

I haven't used SandStars but 35#'s sounds kinda high unless you're seating the bead....

Most people run between 3# and 8# depending on the tire and riding conditions.

Spray some soapy water around the bead and stem to find any leaks.

Sometimes inexperienced people mess up the tires bead with the tire irons.;) If you did it right, you didnt have to use alot of muscle when you got to the end.
