Front drag tire leaking at bead.
I have a set of Mickey Thompson front runners and Centerline wheels. They are new, never used. I have them for about 3 years and they leak at the bead. I can't see any problem. It is happening to both tires. Should I put tubes in them, do they even make tubes for them.

You need to remove the tires , clean the rims and use as sealant when you reinstall the tires. Aluminum rims are known for oxidization and leaks.

WE used to run a bead of the same glue around the bead we used to put patches on the inside of the tire. Worked everytime.
