Hello from Germany! I have a relatively new Kubota BX-2350D which is now the love of my life. The only problem I've had is that the front right-hand little tyre has a slow leak that leaves it flat after a week or two. I originally thought that it might've been the result of some heavy work which might've wiggled the bead around and let some air out, but I've subsequently performed some tests filling it up a bit over spec whilst it sits in the barn, and it inevitably ends up flat over about two weeks.
I already took a bucket of dish soap and a rag and tried to see if there was a nail hole or something, to no avail. It's perfectly useable, but I first have to use my compressor to fill it up every time I want to use it, and it clearly can't be good to put pressure on the sidewall whilst not in use.
Could it be a wonky valve (and I have to admit that I have no idea whether this is a tubed or tube-less tyre), or should I try some "Fix-A-Flat" on it, or am I doomed to have the dealer install a new tyre when he flatbeds it in for the 60-hour Inspektion?
Apologies for the English as a second language. Can anyone give me some advice? Danke in advance.
