with tire removed from ~Z~,
inflate to 5psi above max pressure (labeled on tire) be sure tire is clean from dirt,rocks,grass,etc... use only water flowing from a garden hose (very low flow) find a starting point (valve stem) & slowly go over both sidewalls & then over tread; the clean water will make small bubbles. Perform this outside in the most light possible & you will find your leak. I've had some pin-holes in the sidewall drive me crazy in the past & putting the tire in the tank of water would not expose it. My Daughter's Fusion was losing 1lb. per week & turned out to be a pin hole in sidewall-near the shoulder. Also ck. the wheel,,,could have a fracture in the Aluminum.
