I don't remember ever having a leaking (rear) tire, smothering it in soapy water and still not finding a leak.
I removed the wheel assembly and quickly found the leak after sitting it in a tub of water.
There was a pin prick sized hole in the valley of a tread sipe that would quickly disappear under soap water application.
The tire was losing air quickly because the culprit 'stabbed' the tire and left. This was my new experience.
The bottom line I'm now a firm believer in the water bath and will never use the soap method again.
My side-by-side has a leaking tire. The soap method has failed so it will be traveling to a cow watering trough for a dunk.
