If it's the bead remove the tire and clean the wheel where the bead seats. Also clean the tire bead completely and then wipe both surfaces with a solvent like acetone. I've also used hair spray on the beads to keep the tire from turning on the wheel if no wheel screws.
That's another thing. Were these tires ever screwed before? Are they screwed now?

I was looking at it again last night and I believe the bead came unseated. They have always leaked a little but not completely flat overnight. I will take the slick off, clean up the wheel and slick, and then mount it again.
Thanks for all the help.
