If you are unable to find a puncture in the tread, look closely at the valve stem. Not he valve stem valve internal to the stem, the valve stem itself. I have never had a valve stem fail in all of my years of owning vehicles and have had two in the past year fail. They were not on the 5th wheel though and I was able to take care of the issues without incident or inconvenience.

The rubber surround on the valve stem separated from the metal casing and was leaking air slowly. The stems were bought from the same local dealer several years ago, so lesson learned there.

We run Tow Master ASC and Freedom Hauler Duty Max on our work trailers and have held great these are 3 years old and still look good, average driving speeds are 60mph all the way to 80mph, and the tires take it like a champ.

I spoke too soon. Blew one on the way back from Glacier. Thank Gawd I had trailer TPMS or it would have been ugly. By the time I got stopped, there was 15 PSI in it. I'd say luck was on my side...
