flat tire

[budcolglazie]

i have a 2016 25 flying cloud. after an approimately 500 trip last summer, my trailer was parked in the driveway and i noticed one of the tires was just about flat. i assumed i ran over a nail and removed the tire/wheel to check. i re-inflated and put soapy water around the tread, sidewall and wheel looking for the leak but was surprised not to find anything. i reinstalled the tire/wheel and it never leaked again. what gives? any ideas?

Piece of dirt in the Schrader valve?
Blowing in more air cleared the dirt?

Just to be sure wiggle the rubber valve stem while checking, sometimes they crack and don't leak until moved.

Is it still in warranty? Jackson Center may have used low quality or defective air.

In high school I convinced the English teacher I had to drive her new '67 GTO to the gas station to change the air in the tires.

Twice.

Ohio air is not compatible with Montana's Big Sky, too humid.

Awesome ! You know, you could probably get by with that today with all this 'Nitrogen/Air ' discussion with tires and such. Good idea

Oh yeah, original question, I think a tire will lose one or two pounds a month if it just sits there and is not used. I seem to remember I read that somewhere.
Pump it up and see what it does tomorrow?
