hey, when i got my tires a while ago, they leaked, so i got bead sealer put on, for the second time, and one holds air, and one does not. What do i do? Should i put a tube in it? what else works?

Inflate it to 20lbs or so. Put it in water. If it is leaking where the treads are then either plug it or take it off and put a patch in it. Forget the tube idea. It is a major pain to put a tube in and you will puncture it in no time.

if you got them new from a company i would take em back. If you got em from a friend or something i would either patch it like ^ said or use some tire filler stuff, i wouldn't recomend plugging it

also, if you are leaking where the bead is, then you may need a new tire if it is leaking under the edge of the rim. depends how torn up it is

i'd take it back and see what the company can do if i was you, you don't want to be filling a brand new tire up with gunky $hit

You have 2 choices to do next time;
1. fire the person who did the work, but being that you did the mounting
2. don't drink untill the job is finished
