Default Re: Slow leak from rim at tire bead ?

Mike E very good idea

I didnt see a rock or pebble so I improvised and let the air down to 5 psi,then sprayed with wd-40,then ran a old credit card in and along area of bead leaking and there was alot of grit dirt red georgia clay.I notched the corners of a credit card like a hook and ran it through several times and removed some red mud(I think 10 years from now I will still find red mud somewhere .I then drove down my driveway(200 feet) and back up with 5 psi in tires,aired up to 35 psi and checked for leak.It seems the bead is sealed and no leak

Hopefully the TPS light wont go on in a few days,If it does I will have the dealer remount the tire on aug 4th.

Mike Thanks for your imput
