I had problems with all of my aluminum wheels until I started
insisting that the tire tech clean the rim before he seated the tire.
They get corrosion in the bead area and leak. If you wirebrush it they
won't leak.

such a simple solution, yet some tire _experts_ fail to have knowledge of
it.

mine were wire brushed and sealed with a yellow goop, and still leaked
spring and more commonly in the fall..........
