I was thinking of doing something like that. Maybe 15 years ago a tire place sprayed a tire of mine with soapy water trying to find the source of a flat. Turned out to be a problem with the valve stem. Thing is, I am hoping o go away in less than two weeks. Not sure I am going to find the time to go that route before I need to order a new one.
