I recently bought a pair of Kenda Nevegal Pros (John tomac edition) to use on my bike. They are the DTC compound and therefore I don't believe are tubeless ready. My rims are tubeless ready, but the tires are slowly losing pressure and will be flat overnight. Is there anything I can do to fix this or will it fix itself with time? Just set them up a few days ago

Get some tubes and put sealant in the tubes. Works like a charm

Depends where the air is leaking from. If It's around the tyre bead then you need a bit more tape. If It's through the side wall then a load more sealant should help. I think you just have to keep moving the wheel around to try and coat the inside of the tyre, eventually it should stay up.

It could be leaking around the valve, same as above should fix it.

I had to retape both wheels twice when i first set up tubeless. It's a pain in the arse but once it's right it'll be right for good.
