Decent tire place? DC metro
for some odd reason my Time Attacks wont hold air. when i got them one was completly flat so i filled it and sat it aside. next day flat again. i took it to Radial Tire in Silver Spring (came recommended by a few here) and they said they fixed it. they didnt. the tire is leaking around the bead slowly (my guess). they are all on the car now and the one i took to get fixed was filled at 32psi on Fri and is 23psi now. im not sure what needs done, but id like a reputable tire place to look at them. the wheels are expensive and i have $150 rays lugs id prefer not get scratched. also the car is lowered so a place with a lift that can accommodate lowered cars would be great also.
Call Auto Effects, Inc. in College Park (301)345-1112 and ask for Rob. Tell him you're from the forum and that I told you to call and see if they can help. They're the most knowledgable wheel guys I know. They've been doing it a long time and have troubleshot some things similar to this for me before. 
Hope that helps.

Thats just strange, have you had the tire removed and "re-beaded" onto the wheel? Maybe try that particular tire on your other rim; if they are non directional tires... that will verify the rim's integrity. Just a thought
also just curious, what is the wheel width and tire size?
It could even be something simple like the valve stem or it's core is not installed properly or it may-be faulty.

its weird...not the valve stem, check that super good because at first thas what i though thas what it was. when i first got the them the one wheel and tire came flat with no air. i filled it and overnight, flat again. filled again and it was leaking around the bead (checked with spray bottle). at this time the wheel has never been mounted on the car. i took it to the shop they said they fixed it and sub'd it in water and no leaks. i mounted it on car hoping if they didnt fix it, they wheel being under load would help seal the bead. that where im at now. im guessing its still leaking around the bead just not as bad, being that it is underload.
im gonna take it too a shop Thurs via Driven1's suggestion and we'll see what happens.
thanks for the help
