New tire not holding air...

i got 2 new pirelli 3.00-10 tires and irc tubes and installed the front tire perfectly...

But when i got the back tire on the rim and pumped it, the air just came right back out???

i dont think i pinched the tubes so is there any other things i might have forgoten to do???

I pinched 1 tube twice in a row and had to patch the dam thing over and over

U said "U don't think u pinched it" Well take the tube out pump it up and check for leaks.....use soapy water this will help.

If there really isn't a leak I have no idea what else the problem could be other then the valve steam is fukt cuz is the tube keeps deflating.....then there is obviously a leak some where.

You pinched the tube. Also check around the stem.
