Harbor Freight has inner tubes dirt cheap. Don't fall for it. They are garbage. I bought one and it was leaking within 30 days where the valve stem is attached to the tube.

I wouldn’t go into a Harbor Freight store to escape a mass shooter. All their stuff is junk.

I did that a while back, looking for air bubbles, but couldn’t locate anything


Take them off and put them in a pool then plug the hole.

After reading this message chain, I walked past my Zero Turn, and left rear was all but flat.
My Kobalt air pump would run, output climbed to 30,40,50 psig- but only 2-3 pounds pressure in the tire.
Replaced the valve stem core and now back to proper inflation/ Kobalt air pump behaving as normal.

So- a bad air stem core can cause leakage and hard to refill. It was stuck.

Congrats!
Pretty often it's simply a faulty valve core. Easy fix.
