| When I checked the psi in one of my front tires today water keeps coming out. Other tire is fine. I have the valve up and shot a little air in before checking. Hear water bubbling when I add air. Had 15 psi in it. Could this be a bad valve or a leaky tube? Thanks |

| Jacked the front tire up and filled it up to 40 psi. Also tightened the Schrader valve a bit. No more water spraying out of the valve. Bled the psi to 25#. Still good. Guess I got lucky. Thanks |

Its a common thing to ballast front tires for additional weight. If the tire migrated south from colder climes, check the "water" to see if it tastes salty. If so, I'd drain it and check the rim for rust. JMHO... ------------- Source: Babylon Bee. Sponsored by BRAWNDO, its got what you need! |

| Thanks Dave but I had these tires put on new a couple years ago. Just had plain water put in. Don't know what was going on. |

| From your second post it sounds like you tightened a loose Schrader valve and solved the issue. |
