Dlifevr6 · 08-08-2008, 08:13 AM

My tire keeps going flat on my 19x10 iforged.There is nothing in the tire i think it is leaking from the bead.i dont wont to buy a new tire beacuse these are brand new.Can i use some kinda of fix a flat or that green stuff that you ooz in there

that would be a negative...the fix a flat only seals a puncture and you would need to throw it away after use....try checking the valve or any cracks in the rim

yea, if anything take it to a tire shop. they should be able to find where the leak is and they can prolly dismount the tire and bead, remount and reseal.

Have you checked to make sure your valve stems are tight ........ NOT the caps but the stems themselves.

I had a similar situation of losing air and it turned out to be the stem that was loose.

I had a similar problem. My runflat would slowly leek air. Go to a tire place and have them dismount the tire inspect the rim. When they remount the tire, they have this green paste that helps seat the tire. It worked for me. While your at it, try to get another tire mounted on the rim to see if its just the tire.

This happened on my m3 with IForged. The one would drop to 17psi and hold. When filled it would be fine for a day or so then go to 17psi again. It turned out the face became partially unseated from the barrell. A wheel repair shop would not fix it because apparently this is not super uncommon on multipiece wheels and can continue to happen unless they redo the entire wheel which can mess up the lip.

I sent it back to IForged and they replaced the wheel under waranty so I would reocmmend contacting them.
