hole shot hold air

[robert goyeau]

i have a pair of hoel shots on dougles rims and the don't hold air i have took it to 5 tire places and they say they can't find a hole in them and they cleaned in the bead and still they don't hold air any body know how to fix this problem

no real good fixes....this is a typical problem found on Holeshots. There is not enough rubber along the bead so if there is any imperfection in the rim or along the bead of the tire, you'll get a slow leak. Just fill up before each ride unfortunatly.

Try some innertubes. I use them in my front tires with holeshots.

Its not a normal problem for Holeshots, I would be that its the rim and not the tire.

Yep, holeshots are good tires...they are not known for leaking air.

I would also bet its with the rim...I had a buddy of mine use Douglas rims and he had a small hole in the rim itself...where it was welded together. He found this hole by throwing the tire in his pool and looking for the air bubbles. I suggest you do the same.... not jumping in a pool, but find a way to submerge the tire under water.
