My Renegade is an S-works also and doesn't have that problem. Less tread though so maybe they put more rubber in the wall. Guess I will just have to check the air pressure every time I ride, like I should anyways. I suspected it was the thin walls. My Renegade is an S-works also and doesn’t have that problem.

It is the "S-Works Casing". Too thin. A "Control Casing" would hold air better. @LP: Sounds familiar. It is the “S-Works Casing”. Too thin. A “Control Casing” would hold air better.

One has a captain on the back and the other a renegade. The purgatories need air every other day while the other tires stay firm. Anyone know why they don't seem to hold air as well?

I am ready for drier trail conditions. grannygear @shop mechanic

It is the 2.2"er in the mud. ;) Yes, they will be tested in other conditions as well, but we will have to wait for the weather and the seasons to cooperate. Twenty Nine Inches has no "travel budget", so it isn't like we can just go hither and yon where ever the conditions are perfect. :) Look for the kind of feedback you are suggesting in the months to come. @Shop Mechanic: Check out that image.
