When I went to take my teener out of storage two of the tires were flat. So I aired them up and drove it a couple of days until it snowed again. Then back to storage. I went to take it out again and one tire was flat and the other very low. I checked the valve stems to see if the were leaking and they weren't. After looking them over I put soapy water on the beads and I found that the back side of both tires have leaks. I have attached a picture and if you look at the wheel showing the back side you will see clusters of white bubbles. This was after I had washed off most of the soapy water.
My question is: what is the best way to repair these? Take the tire off and sand around the lip of the rims? Thanks, Mike Attached image(s)
