Bought two brand new rear tires for my truck on Monday.
Tuesday at lunch, someone flags me down on the road and says my left rear is almost flat.
I pump it back up and by the time I get where I need to go, it's already lost 5PSI.
Took it back to the tire shop, where two guys sprayed gallons of soapy water on it, took it apart, looked inside and out for punctures. Found NOTHING.
The rim is steel, smooth, and clean. The old tire was holding air just fine.
They put it back on with a new valve stem and bead sealant.
I go out this morning, and it's going flat AGAIN!
The tire shop won't replace the tire because there's no visible defect. They claim there is nothing else they can do, as there is no leak that they can find.
So, either I live with pumping the tire up twice a day for the next 30,000 miles, or I buy another new tire.
If I can't get them to fix this, is there something I can put in the tire to seal it? Slime maybe?

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
