pod tire loosing air.

thanks everybody, ill check stem then take to another tire place if it persists. neil is doing a 2 day outdoor concert sept 30,oct1...

When is Neil Young in Telluride??  I'm going to be there later this month too, but don't care for a lot of traffic or crowds. I have a bit of adjustability to my schedule....

5 lbs a week is slow.  Soapy water may or may not show that.  I'd try it though.  First over-inflate the tire a bit to make the air stream more prominent.  You can use soapy water on the valve stem too, of course, or you can just replace it.  That would be the first thing I'd do unless I knew there was a leak in the tire.    I agree too, that stopping at 35 is a real puzzler.  If it's only 5 lbs a week, you will be fine traveling with it leaking, topping it off now and then.

Pretty much has to be one of three things - leak in the tire - leak in the valve stem - leak at wheel to tire seal.  Soapy water may help you find, baffles me it stops at 35 psi.  I have in past had issues with tire that didn't seal right to wheel and caused symptoms similar to yours (after I had eliminated valve stem and punctures).  Fill to max and try soapy water.  Not all tires are perfect.
