Tires/rims - slow leaks

Fall of 2023 I got new tires from my trusted local guy. Put them on my existing steel rims.

Packed truck away for the winter. Checking on truck, had 1 tire getting low. I blocked it up. Guy fixed it for free when it got warm enough.

Drove truck in 2024. Maybe 300 miles. Packed it away for winter. Checked on it a few weeks back. This year I've got 2 slow leaks. Added air, blocked them both up until warmer weather is here.

To fix all 4 rims, I will assume I need to remove tires.
Since I've never gone down this road, what's next?

Thanks much...Don.

Dang man. I know sometime air just disappears magically when temps rise and fall a few times rapidly! Seems to happen to me quite a bit.

Then one day I got a slow leaker in my DD and so I began airing it up every few days at home with my shop air. This went on for like an entire summer and one day decided to take it in for a fix.

The alloy wheel had a crack...YMMV.

Re: Tires/rims - slow leaks

First thing I would suggest is finding the source of the leak(s). Bit of liquid soap in a spray bottle of water, look for bubbles. Don't forget to check valve stems / cores. How to fix it depends on what you find. Keep us posted....
