Bead leaks

[Mike]

What did you use for bead sealer, Permatex? Everyone seems to have good luck with that. When the tires leak, can you see the air seeping out with soapy water or is it more of a gradual leak? And is this on k-lock wheels or standard wheels?

Last year I mounted new 21" goodyears to run with tracks and no matter what I do I can't get the beads sealed. The rims are like new and I used a lot of bead sealer both times I reseated them and they stil have small leaks. I noticed the main ingredient in the sealer is toluene which softens rubber. So it should work. With 6 psi in these tires (required to run tracks) there's not much flex in the sidewalls. My latest plan is with tracks off to run the tires damn near flat and let the beads "work in". Outside of slime and tubes does anyone have any other tricks I could try?
