Here it is a week later, update. I took the spare wheel and tire (I forgot I had) and cleaned the bead area on the wheel really well with a belt sander, then took the wheel and tire to a shop and asked them to mount and balance the set. I left it there three days before picking it up, and mounted it on the car on Monday, it is still holding air. I think the bead areas really need thorough cleaning. I plan on doing the same with the one that went flat. NO TUBES
