k, i just replaced my front right tire, with a brand new tire today, and there already appears to be a slow leak in the new tire.....

i can't for the life of me figure out WTF is wrong here... the wheel appears to be fine, no warpage, no bends... so i can't figure out what is causing the leak..

any suggestions?

can't you bring it back to the shop where you mount it?

happened to me once. ended up that the metallic label on the side of the tire got tangled up and created big enough of a gap for the leak.

bad valve stem?

...or posibly the sealing surface of the rim where the tire sits is not clean!! I would check the stem first though......soapy water is your friend.....
