The tire appears to hold the pressure, at least for the short term. But it looses pressure over the course of a few hours. The tire never goes flat, but drops to about 5 psi. It has held there for a few days. It happens every time I pump it back up.
Any thoughts on why the tire is not holding pressure?
The air has to go somewhere. You could try putting the tire+wheel into a tub of water to see where it is leaking from. This might give you a clue as to a fix. You need to define the problem first.
