I've got a slow leak on a 315 right now....and can't find a nail/protrusion anywhere. Just give it some 02 every 3 weeks

Zero rot/deterioration, other than tread wear...even my Indie, who installed the set 7 years ago, was amazed at tire condition.
He said a flat patch might be doable, but wasn't crazy about 'disturbing' the hole by pulling object and patching...I agreed and we are leaving the object
in situ. I can live with occasional tire pump up, and sets are not currently available and I have too much other stuff going on. This RetiredBum gig is hell.
It is a very casual use car, usually, so I will deal with it 'later' or next Spring.
