my tire has gone flat 2 times now and one time it came off the rim.

i just got back from filling it up again at the gas station and it has a small leak like where the rim and tire meet.

is it possible i could have a bad seal or crap in the seal area?

and how would i go about cleaning the seal out?
thanks for the help

Yeah wheel bearing grease works pretty good.

Last summer while I was cutting grass one of mowers got a flat.And it messed the tires up.Well I put a whole bunch of wheel bearing grease on the bead.And when the tire popped on it was so slick it popped right off the other side and blew grease all over my face and in my hair.So if you do it be careful.
