I sold tires for 14 years, and put them on awhile before that. Go to a shop that only sells tires. They have the experience to find the leak. I have seen MANY leaks in after market and OE wheels. Sometimes the aluminum has a very small hole. Hard to find without dunking in tire bath. Not a big deal to someone who has the experience. Could cost around $10-15, but that's about 1/10 of the value of that tire.

Thats what Id o, IF I couldnt find the leak myself. Not the place to start. See what YOU can get done.
