I have 1 leaky hoosier, is it still safe to run on? If I put in 35lbs today, tomorow, it will be about 30. about 5-7lbs a day.

Race tires should not be repaired. Find the location of the leak by spraying slightly soapy water on the tire, especially around the rim, where they usually leak. If that's where it is you can have the tire remounted to try and seal it better.
I race on Hoosier slicks, which have a bad reputation for leaking at the bead. Their DOT tires are not usually so bad. I have had tires which lost half (or more) of their air overnight. It can be tough to set correct pressures before a race under those circumstances. By carefully removing excess mold flash from the tire bead before remounting, it is possible to improve the seal significantly. |
