Usually it's just one at a time, apart from the three slow leaks from a tiny piece of tire wire I could never find. Submerging the tubes in water had the tiniest bubble form in the same spot after minutes, but no amount of flexing the tire in that area wearing a bright headlamp revealed it. I gave up and threw out the tire.

Obviously the potential exists, and it would really suck to repeat that up to 100 miles from home without an endless air supply.
