have a l2800 with 7x16 front tires and one of them keeps leaking down..nothing in the tire and have tried sealing with dawn soap around the edges but once a week it goes down.is there a better way to stop this than having to put in a tube.

Many many threads on this...
I had the problem on the front left of my new BX2660. Every week I had to fill it. Took it once to a tire shop, they cleaned the rim, and rebeaded it. Didn't last. Finally put a tube in it and it has lasted all summer without the need to add air. Hopefully on my property I won't puncture it because then a fix is much more difficult than a tubeless. The other front is still tubeless and working great.

Just had to replace my left front tire and wheel on my BX2660. I told Davis Farm Supply of my problem and they gave me one free of charge.

My front tires always leaked since purchase, left more so than the right. But I put a container of Slime in each and have not had a problem for a little over a year now.

Out of 4 BX's purchased 3 have had this same problem. One tire slow leaks and now my Spring purchased BX2660 is doing it. One I had a tube installed and the other I just traded off. May try Sliming this one.

I put slime in my fronts and end of problem...
I had the rears foamed filled because too many weekend projects were interrupted by flats...
I also bought a spare set of tires and rims and have not had a single problem since...

Foam filling the front tires works well too. But if you do have them filled buy a new set of tires before you fill them. no since in spending the money to fill half tread tires.

Add me to the long list of "Slimers" I wouldn't be with out it
and the front's are the worst in my opinion.
