I ran in to a tree with mine, no slow leaks here! less than a month old, we've been riding the old Craftsmen 4200 since 2008, hard to get used to a zero turn. Although, mt previous job was driving track vehicles for the Army, this was a new experience. Tried it a few times and gave up and got no-flat tires.
Just replaced 4 brand new tires on one of my riding lawn mowers. After a few days I noticed that the rear tire was low. So I took it off and located some micro-bubbles turning into a foam between tire and rim. What I did was deflate the tire and beat it with my rubber mallet paying special attention to the leaky area. Then I inflated the tire to 40psi and before checking for leaks I beat it again with the rubber mallet. Checked for leaks and wellah! Since then I've had to do it again to 2 other tires and so far so good.
I usually remove the tire from rim clean rim and paint if rusted and clean tire surface that contacts rim it doesn’t take long to do. I also made a bracket to hold my rim on bench vice secure that way ya don’t have to have extra hands 😊😊
Did I hear you correctly: your wife gets annoyed when she has to pump up the tire? Brother, you are already miles ahead of most of us who have wives that wouldn't know how to put air into a tire if it was totally flat.
Let's spray some soap and water right on top of the unfinished steel surface of my table saw and see if it rusts while we're at it...two for one....heeeell yea!
It seems all the tires from different brands of mowers have this leak issue. I don’t think we (customers) should have to go through the hassle to fix it. We need to bring action against all the manufacturers so that they fix the problem or they will have to pay penalties for giving us defective tires.
LMAO “My wife has been complaining that every time she cuts the grass, she has to put air in the tire”. That was truly precious! Your a lucky man.
The most impressive thing about this video is that you got your wife to mow the grass!
I just watched four other videos and this one was good! Thumbs up and subbed also. I am still trying to get the wife to mow the lawn!

How do you pump your spray bottle so fast? 😁
+1 for the shirt! How's the fix holding up? I have the same issue on my zero turn mower.
I still have not had to put any air in it. That fixed it.

Put 4oz of Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) in the tire....The fluid makes the rubber expand works every time for slow leaks.
Hmmmm thank you!@@brucer1220
Mine leaked out in about a month. Fix-a-flat worked on mine. Now I need to fix that rusted out muffler.

Your best solution for a tire 🛞 bead leak, is to use an inner tube. Your friend, Jeff.
You can just use grease.
Nice
