Leaky beads

My Goodywear Eagle RS-A Runflats, despite being obviously bad and heavy tires, now seem to have developed a penchant for being leaky. A little over 10k miles on them since new and I have had two seperate tires leak on two seperate incidences. Patrick MINI has been more than accomidating and has fixed both leaks free of charge or question. My question to you guys is has anyone else had a similiar problem with leaking tires? Both times they told me the bead was leaking. Is this tire really that bad? Should I be calling Goodyear?

Thanks.

TJM

most likely its just the tire wasnt seated well. shouldn't be that big of a deal. did they just re-seat the bead? corrosion around the bead area can't be a possiblity since your car/wheels are fairly new.
