Rear tire leaking help

[brantdw]

I got a fresh set of PS2s non run flat on my ride and the back right tire keeps leaking. Every time the check it the leak is around the outter bead. The garage ****** says that the chrome is peeling off my 10 spoke 03 rims. I keep telling them that there is no chrome on these rims.

Anyone else experience this? Any good solutions? Im thinking the tires. The original tires had no leaking issues.

you probably have calcium or rubber build up on the wheel, pull the tire off and buzz clean it---- for peeling chrome rims on the bead- i put a thin coat of black rtv silicone on the bead of the wheel- and allways have succes with that.. its not the tires

We did buzz it last time. Polished up the rim and the tire. We did the RTV also. Are these rims chrome coated?

i dont think so, but somebody could have--- if you have a clean bead on the wheel(completely clean full lip) it should not leak unless------- someone ripped the bead, pull the tire off and make shure thier is not rubber missing from that bead of tire... if it has chrome chipping- peel and buzz it clean, rub with black rtv on rim bead and tire bead, (just a smidge nicely) and it should be good...

Once in a while I have a set of Hooisers that don't hold air for very long.

We dismount the tire, clean up the bead area and apply "bead sealer". Most tire stores have this stuff in stock.

that bead sealer now days is crap..... it dries hard like 3m gorilla snot- junk.... thats why i started useing rtv--

I live near the Pacific and had corrosion on the inside bead, they had to take a flap wheel and take off all the corrosion, then put a nice 1" wide coating of bead sealer before re-mounting my tires. 3 of my 4 tires developed this.....but Sears did each rim for $25 each....I was happy with that.

I do plan to re-chrome my rims again soon.

The bead sealer that my local Goodyear dealer used to seal my leaky track tire beads worked perfectly.

Maybe all "bead sealer" isn't created equal!
