First find where it's leaking. If it's the sidewall dismount the tire and rub Palmolive dish soap on the inside of the sidewall. I let it dry and rub a second coat, then remount and inflate. The soap seals the pores.
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?
