Whenever adding air to tires, always spit on your finger and put that slime on the valve stem. If it makes bubbles, that's your air leak. Buy a tool and tighten the valve core--cheap fix. I learned that trick from my father in 1956 at the age of six while airing up bicycle tires, but it works equally well for motorcycle, automobile and aircraft tires. It would work on the Space Shuttle, F-22 and F-35 tires, but we killed that technology birthing happy-dance puppets, so those tires no longer require inflation.
