tyre not sealing

[marc69]

I put the alloys on my car 2 weeks ago but one of the back ones has a slow leak (5 days to go flat).

I investigated with soapy water, turns out ther are a few bits on the rim which are not fully sealed.

Is there a way to remedy this without going to kwik fit etc, because if i do, it is just as well to get another tyre as it's just an arrowspeed that's on it.

My local tyre place uses a black sealant when fitting tyres, I assume some of this would fix it? Can't think of anything you can do without removing the tyre though!

you need to break the bead and get the tyre off pal, alloys corrode and go like limscaley it needs to be 100% removed and use a bead sealer if not 100%

As above, the wheels needs the rim buzzing down with that little spinny tool they use at a tyre place and the sealing (tar like) stuff applying to it, there is nothing you can do and dont think for a second that six tubes of vulcanising solution smeared round the rim will fix it lol
