take a spray bottle and put dish soap and water in it and spray all over the tire and look for bubbles!!

fill it up with air, then while your watching for buddles listen for a little whining sound. that will be the air leaking!

I've seen a lot of aftermarket tires having problems sealing around the bead because of the person mounting it not taking the time to pull off the little nipples that come on a new tire. The nips get stuck between the rim and the tire bead and let a very very small amount of air of the the tire all the way around the rim.

The quick and easy way to fix this is:

1 - Deflate the tire
2 - Using your hands, push the tire's bead down so you can see the inside of the rim. Look for little nipples in there. If you see one, pull it off (at the base of it) with pliers.
3 - Go all the way around the rim doing this
4 - Flip the tire over and repeat on the other side

Problem fixed. I've seen this a lot on ITP Holeshots and a few others... Shame places like Ronnie's and Rocky Mountain don't look for this when mounting them (yes I have seen this from BOTH places).
