My tire is leaking and can't figure the reason.
 
I just bought set of rota wheels and tires.
The problem is that driver's side front tire is keep losing air by no reason.
I brought it to tire shop but they don't see any air bubbles when they spray water soap. I think the air is leaking somewhere very slowly. Do you guys think I should buy a new valve? Please give me an advise!!

Could be ..

bead
valve stem
valve
barrel of wheel
welds on wheel
old tire (seepage)


How much is leaking? 1 psi per week? month?

I guess it leaks like 2psi per week. But not sure. Today I checked and it was 30psi(normal psi for my tire is 36psi I think). I will tighten up the valve if it is loosen..Thanks for advise anyway..

if it leaks that slow, those bottle tire sealants might just do the trick.
