I dont think I would want to run it like that. Maybe, just maybe after taking it off the wheel and looking at the inside but even then it just isnt worth taking a chance with something happening at speed ?

I know you said you bought them over a year ago but a call to the manufacturer would be my first step if they were mine.

We mounted new MT fronts and rears for the Baby Gators. One rear leaked bad on the sidewalls. Took the tire and a bottle of Dawn to the MT trailer and they knocked one side loose and used the Dawn and no more pressure drop. Have use it for decades.

I used Murphy Oil Soap and Aqua Net hair spray on beads. New tires mounted on new wheels 2 months ago, inflated to 22 Lbs. 2 months ago checked them last week dropped to 18 Lbs.

Coca Cola. The regular high sugar one. Slather it up on the sidewall and let it sit in the hot sun for awhile. No leaks anymore.Learned that from a seasoned D6 racer.

Had tried Dawn,Palmolive,Slime. None of them worked. Still weeped through the sidewall,especially on the M/T's.

Permatex High Tack brush on in the can stopped the tire from turning on the rim. Had tried the Aqua net and one of them was turning 3" on the first hit.

MT are bad about leaking. I changed to Hoosier and they hold pressure for months.

I understand how ya could come up with those ways of gluing beads but the different types of soap and Coca Cola for leaks who figures that out. But grandma always said when they were passing out brains I thought they said trains and jumped behind the door and missed em. Please on agreeing with grandma.

My new Hoosiers are weird, one rear constantly leaked a small amount for about a year then without touching them stopped leaking on it's own. One of the fronts will hold pressure for month or more then go flat in 2-3 days. The other two have never leaked.
