Front tire won’t hold air pressure
my commander II on my 17’ RGS keeps losing air pressure It has about 7,000 miles on the tire and I fill it to 38psi within a week or two it’s down to 15 to 18. Did a full shell leak test and no bubbles. Had the whole valve stem under water too. Any one else have this happen Rear tire is holding air even with a nail in it (crap my near new tire has a nail)

soap it down...
I had a car wheel/tire that did it and water tank test showed nothing...
I soaped it up at the house and found the leak. About 5mm of the rim/tire was leaking. Either the wheel had a VERY fine, VERY small crack(not visible to the naked eye) or had a little corrosion on it and the bead wasnt seating as well as it should. I never did anything about it except add air every 2 weeks.
