Diagnose the problem first. There is a product called "Leak Finder" that will foam up like shaving cream on a leak. If the bead is leaking you need to clean it and you need to clean the bead on the tire. Aluminum rims oxidize and create aluminum oxide, a white powdery substance , it is that substance that breaks the seal and allows the tire to leak. The valve stem will leak as well so need to be replaced and the stem hole needs to be cleaned with a round file or sandpaper. Bead sealer is a black tar like substance available at auto stores. Paint the bead sealer around the valve stem and insert the valve. Next paint the side of the bead on the tire and then go around the rim surface where the bead makes contact. I have done hundreds of aluminum rims that leaked and if you are carefull cleaning the rim up and using a good bead seal your tire won't leak , if it does you have a puncture somewhere in the tire. Incidentally all this procedure lasts about three years and you will find yourself cleaning up the rims again ! I stress getting the powder off the tire is as important as cleaning the rim.

After many months I found the perfect place, off the beaten path, up a private � mile drive, old stone house which has stood the test of time, out buildings which haven�t stood the test of time, trees, birds, rabbits, and snakes. This is the place! Bought
