Tailwheel tires going flat

[Neal]

I haven't flown in about a month or more as I had the unfortunate circumstance of taking care of a family member. I returned to the plane today and the tailwheel was flat. This is a new tire and tube I installed a few months ago. In fact it was even an upgraded tube to prevent flats. I had a prior tube go flat on me on the prior setup, and my spare tire/tube in the hangar also is leaking air. What in the heck is going on with these things?

I have spare tubes, I've just never seen tubes go bad so fast and/or so frequent. Anyone else experiencing this? I think if my plane is going to sit I'm going to jack the tail to get weight off the wheel.
