I have some ITP aluminum wheels on my 4 wheeler that came w/ it when i bought it  and they gad stock Honda 400ex tires on them,,,they never ever leaked the whole time I had them...
Now I bought new tires and they keep leaking around the bead.. I have been told to put tubes in them,,,I hate to do that but if anyone has any info on why these wheels wont hold  air w/ these new tires I could use the help.. Been wanting to ride and It sucks to look at the 4 wheeler w/ flats. Cool

Well I cleaned the rims and The tire were brand new. When I pump them up after setting the beads tight to around 5#'s where they should be I can push my thumbs into the sidewalls right above the rim(beadline) and it will blow air out...they wont leak at all if i ride in a straight line,but who does that...The torque side to side is flexing the sidewall letting the air escape by the bead somehow.....I think I will end up w/ tubes before its over...
