Goodyear Slick won't stay inflated
It leaks down overnight and is completely flat. Is the bead not sealed correctly? Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Goodyear Slick won't stay inflated
An easy way to find the issue is to submerge the wheel/tire assembly in water ( soapy water is even better ) and the bubbles will show you where the problem is. If you have an understanding wife, the bathtub will work fine. The alternative is to wipe soapy water over the surface of the tire and around both beads while watching for the bubbles. Also check the valve stem to be sure it isn't leaking internally.

Old Goodyears will leak through the tire.

Older. Not really old though. They went flat over the winter. I filled them up and one is staying inflated and the other is leaking down,

Re: Goodyear Slick won't stay inflated
If it's leaking through the sidewall just use the old soap trick on the inside of the sidewalls................
