Replacing the tyres on a set of tubeless Easton EC90sl wheels. Tyres are Schwalbe pro ones, the tubeless version.
Have seated tyres but not added sealant yet. One is losing air through a small hole that looks to be purposely drilled beneath the brake track (front wheel). Have no idea why this is but not too concerned as this was holding air earlier today before I washed out the previous load of sealant so will presumably reseal(?). The rear tyre has been seated but is losing air through a hole that appears to be coming from one of the moulding spikes on the tyre sidewall. I’ve tried to attach a picture, it’s the piece of rubber sticking out directly above the ‘T’ of tubeless. No tyre levers have been used, these were put on by hand. Is this normal in a tubeless tyre? Should I return for a warranty replacement or just add sealant and let it repair itself?
