How bad is it to leave your tires flat between runs? I'm tempted to get 'em remounted since I think there is mud in the bead but I think some of you (Lurch) doesn't have a problem sitting on rims

Bad idea, get the beads cleaned out and solve the issue.

It's never a good idea to leave tires flat for long periods of time. My beadlocks just don't seal well and I get tired of putting air in them all the time so they stay flat. They have been holding air great now for about a month. But if i move it they will probably go flat lol.

Sounds like someone needs to break their beadlocks down and fix them...
I'm a hack and I welded my DIY's together and they haven't leaked down in the 13 or so months they've been sitting.

They don't leak down if I air them up after wheeling. But it I park it with 5 psi in the tires they go flat.

Put jackstands under axles on 4 corners, so most of the weight is off your leaky tires.

Sounds like your inner beads are leaking.

I've thought about that.
