it could be the wheel itself. The wheel might need to be resealed.
That happened with my rear wheel. it was leaking the same way, i went to reseal it and it was fine since, this was two months ago.

hey spray wheel and tires with water and liquid soap and look for bubbles from a slow leak

i have a question i have my front tires at 32 psi and rear 35psi only because on the side of the door that was the recommendation. Why 42psi i would imagine smoother ride and better gas consumption is this true sorry for being ignorance

I run 42psi because of my 20 inch rims. The low profile tires need the protection with harder tires. I have 245/35/20 in the front with 285/30/20 in the rear.
