After returning from Takeover I noticed the rear beadlocks were loosing 2 to 3 PSI per day.
When I broke them down I found a lot of dirt between rim and bead.
Cleaned everything up, washed tire and rim and put back together using bead sealer as an extra precaution.
Torqued beadlock ring and re-aired tires.
So far holding air.
Also if you have a small compressor like I have, without enough volume to seat the bead, a ratchet strap around tire worked great for me.
Here is a link to the ratchet strap
you can hear the bead seat at 0:30 and 0:31.
Painters tape around tire is numbered for torque sequence of the beadlock ring.
Forgot to mention, I also replaced rubber valve stems with metal valve stems
