From that thread, this sounds like something to look into: "I had an issue with my Apex EC-7s and brand new Michelin Supersports leaking. I took out spray bottle with dish soap and found that new the bead, the Michelin's had these 3/4" long thin, stringy injection nipples sticking out, but on two of the tires, these were bent down into the bead area and air was slowly leaking out. I took the wheel off and took the air out so I could push down the sidewall and pull out these little string nipples from the bead area. Then I refilled with air and they never leaked again. Not sure if you checked for those on yours?"


Called Apex, he said they saw several cases of this issue, he advises to Pump the tire to the max Advised PSI and leave it for 10 min then bring it back to OEM PSI , he advises against using a Bead Sealer because it hinders the intended Performance of the wheel , this really sucks actually because it does not seem to be a Permanent bullet proof Fix
