Rear Tire Bead Leaking....Easy Fix?

Posted by T_Bone on September 18, 2002 at 19:35:21 from (65.59.5.15):

I have 12.4x28, 10yr old?, tire leaking at the bead all of a sudden, round one day, flat the next day. I know it's only flat on the bottom :)

Now whats the best way to attack the problem? dismount and clean the bead? Or any tricks? Bead is leaking inside and out for 2/3 of the bead. Why did it start leaking? I haven't used it any different than I normally do.

I assume I got sand between the tire bead and the rim but don't see how. Tire had 16psi but doesn't get used much, maybe 5 times a year, backhoe. Leaks air out in 3hrs.

Suggestions?
