kick it...seriously. Take them off the hub,bring the air pressure to like 1 lb, then just kick it as hard as you can in that exact spot where its leaking... if its leaking because of a cut, I can not help you.good luck-darren

are they factory rims? if they are look at where it is leaking and see if there are two holes on the inside lip of the rim. they will be around the bead . if it is leaking from these two holes then the rubber ring inside the rolled lip is bad. sometimes this is the problem and not the tire

I would say if the seal ring is good, you might have some trash crammed in between the tire and bead. I always get small sticks and stuff stuck in mine. I think the best thing to do would be unmount the tire and clean the bead of the rim up, then remount it. If it still leaks then your bead on the tire is ba or the rim is shot.
