I just put on my new makavelli 20's and on the drive home my front right tire was completely flat!! I filled it at the gas station and 10 minutes later it was totally flat again so i took it off and there is no aparant damage to the wheel or any nail either. I'm going to take it back tomorrow...
Anyone know what would cause this?? just a defective wheel?

Probably mounting of the tire was incorrect or there is a hole or tear in the tire that you can't see.
Bad valve stem would cause a leak as well, but you would probably have heard it if the leak was enough to deflate the tire in so little time.
