Default Inside wheel air leak

have constantly had to add air in rear inside wheels....finally added sensors to monitor..........loss became more and more each time I used the bus ...when to atlanta for race temperature overnite was 25....air pressure went from 90 to 43 ...aired up again pressure got to 75 by tifton ga....stopped at tire repair mech said looks like stem was just loose do I want to just tighten...I said no change it...once off the wheel they found cut in seal.....went on my way... bus sat in storage came back three weeks later and monitor on the othe side was reading 43 lbs....took to dealer ...they were going to just tighten stem I said no..change it...lo and behold that one had a cut just like the left one...original stems were straight but they bent them so they would go thru the rubber donut on outside wheel I think that is what pinched the seal...be aware!!!!! jim k
