Default Re: Slow leak

Bring your leaky tire to an old fashioned service station in farm country and have it fixed. A modern tire shop won't know what to do with a tubed tire. No reason to replace the tube unless its rotten. Lots of 50 year old tubes still running just fine, albeit they probably have lots of patches. A few years ago I had new tires put on my A, replaced tubes in 3 out of 4 but that's because they were rotten, looked to be many,many years old. I bought mine through Mac's and they've been good. Check them once a year and top them off a pound or two.
