It may be a poor seal. I once had a rim that was very slightly bent as a
result of running over something in the road. You could not tell that the
rim was bent. However, the tire kept losing air--slow leak. There was
nothing wrong with the tire. They were still making use of intertubes at
that time so I told them to use an intertube inside the tire. It solved
the problem. I don't believe that they still make or sell intertube. In
some cases, the tire is the problem and in other cases--the rim is the
problem. If it is a poor seal between the rim and tire--perhaps you could
try making use of a can of solution that might be called "stop leak" or
something like that. They probably sell it at tire shops and auto shops
like NAPA. Perhaps someone that drives the car ran over something in the
road and did not tell you about it.
