Hiya,
Bought a new Racing Ralph Evo MTB Tyre - SnakeSkin. Set it up tubeless on Mavic Crossmax XL. Noticed that it was slowly deflating. I did a soap and water test and found it was leaking on the bead. I removed the tyre and reseated the tyre and again it was leaking at the bead at the same spot (nb. I moved the tyre around the rim to rule out the rim being the cause).
When seating tubeless tyres I always pump up to 50ish PSI to make sure they pop into place etc. Then reduce back to riding pressure.
The tyre had new sealant in it but it seemed to have no effect on sealing this leak.
Is this a sign the tyre is defective?
