Troubelshooting Tire/Wheel Leak on a 5th Wheel Trailer

Question:

Have had 2 different rims leak on my 5th wheel. Same side and tire. Why would this happen?

If you are saying that you have installed the same tire on 2 different wheels and they leak then it sounds like the tire itself has a leak. You can test this by putting soap and water in a spray bottle and spraying the tire down. The location of the leak will bubble up as air escapes.

It also sounds like you may have a tandem axle trailer and you have 2 of the same tire but each are mounted on different wheels and both of them are leaking. This sounds like you may have run over something that damaged both tires which is why this is happening on one side only.

If you can give me a little more insight then I may be able to give you some more solutions.
