Slow Air Leak

Hey everyone, is there a common area for the MCS run flats to leak? I have the 2 piece rims where there are a series of allen key screws around the rim edge, is that prone to leak? Also, is it safe to use fix-a-flat or tire slime like a normal tire? I'd rather not buy a new tire if I don't have to. Thanks for any help!

Take it to a tire shop like americas tire they will check to seee where it is leaking. could just be a valve stem or a small pin hole. not sure about the slime type stuff should be Ok I think the runflats are just a really stiff side walled tire.

I found the leak, I had a screw in the tire that caused a slow leak. I thought it was something else because it was so minimal.
