I'm lazy and cheap. I've been having very good luck with a product made by
Pennzoil called "fix a flat"(yellow and black can with a short filler tube)
it's about 3.50 to 4.00 at autostores and Walmart. As long as it is just a
slow leak, like air it up one day and flat the next, this has worked for me
on tubes and tubeless tires. Last week I had a 11.00 x 20 that the flap had
wore a hole in the tube and the local Goodyear charged 50.00 to put a new
tube and flap in. Up from 35.00 in the past year. Wayne
