+ 1 on the slime. You can also get new tubes with slime pre installed.
Last week I was rebuilding a not much used but much abused Murrey rider mower. The tires have no wear, but were weather cracked from a few years of setting outside in the sun. All those little cracks leaked on otherwise sound tires.
I bought a 1 QT jug of slime and installed it in the tires. One front that sat flat with the rubber folded 180 degrees really leaked on that fold line. That one would go flat in 30 seconds.
