In case you doubt this can be done effectively, a couple of years ago I readily noticed when my right main tire was suddenly low. I put the plane up on jacks (which is what I do to pump up the tires) and couldn't find a puncture. It wasn't entirely flat, but down around 20 PSI. I pumped the tire up and it's been fine ever since. I never did figure out the cause. But the condition was readily apparent. I do have one of the brands of no-leak tube types on all the tires and they hold pressure amazingly well. The current tires/tubes are about 6 years old.yl472401 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 25, 2020 3:46 pm Lol, I took it off early due to concerns of damage to the wheel faring from improper towing by the facility and potential lateral factor from the cross wind as I was practicing as a student pilot. Getting ready to put it back on the wheel with the new fin.
Also, got a blown tyre two days right before the check ride. An afterthought was the lack of ability to check the landing gear tyre with the wheel fairing on. Any solution to this problem, Rich ?

I'm interrested by the "no-leak tube", can you tell me what it is?
My tires are fine, but they are always loosing pressure very slowly and will stabilize but at lower pression than recommended..
Thanks.
