My brand new ice bear nighthawk 150cc gy6 scooter has 1500 miles on it and I'm going on my 3rd rear tire. The first one took a 4 in. Wood screw threw the bottom and out the side wall so okay bad luck. This replacement tire keeps going flat, I fill it up, stays at 40 psi for a week or so, then hops off the bead or valve gets kicked or something, and I start all over again. This last time I slowly rode to the gas station as per usual to refill it when I see it. "Out of order" sign on the air compresser. I rode the 3 miles to closest alternate. Can't keep pressure. I think it's toast so I'm digging around for a replacement. My buddy has a 12'' he gives me but, you guessed it, doesn't fit the clutch or transmission break pad thing that contacts the tire hub to spin it. I have a smaller clutch from a 50cc I think but will that need a 10'' tire? I have one but when will it end? I'm homeless and unemployed so I gotta work with what I got. Any advise here guys? Thank you in advance for your help!

it's been over a week since you wrote so maybe you have an answer by now but here goes.
A 12 inch tire will never fit on a thirteen inch rim so let's go back to the replacement tire. You wrote.

I don't know what "the valve gets kicked" means. The answer to your problem is to take the inflated tire on the wheel and throw it in water. If there is a leak anywhere you will see bubbles coming out. If the valve is leaking or the bead isn't set air will escape from there. Tires don't go flat for no reason. If the tire is defective that's another story.

Think he meant he gave him an entire 12" rim with tire . Pretty sure he meant it doesn't fit the splines on the shaft.

Of course just noticed it's been over a year.
