Default leaking air

Hey guys I have a set of draglights on my car and the rears have the holes in the wheels for screws. The screws are not there and they are filled in with silicone. One of the holes is leaking is it best to put more silicone there or what?

Yea, the silicone will probably take care of it, let it set up good before driving it. if it's leaking through old screw holes then it must be leaking past a bead seat. Are you sure it just the screw hole leaking?

I think it is. I might just have to take it off and check it

Just a little liquid dish soap between the tire and rim as you are mounting it will help the bead/wheel seal.
