Reply to: Repairing leaky tires on beach wheels

[quote=mookie]Yeah, I probably pinched the tube. Here's the next update: -Installed new valve stem, under 60 seconds -Lubed rim and tire with dish soap, hooked up air, lifted tire and easily seated bead in under 60 seconds. -Soaped tire, did not find leak at first, but found it while rinsing tire. Small pin hole in side wall. -Slimed the tire, sealed the pinhole. Some things to consider: these tires will never do over 10 mph or 10 psi, so most cautions are probably moot. It's a quick fix that will last a looong time, and is without consequence if it fails. It's a different scenario for cars. Also, these tires are not high speed steel belted radials, so maybe plugging them is an option if you don't like slime. Not sure if the sidewall is strong enough for a plug, though.[/quote]
