I'm just posting this because it surprises me. Is it just Metzeler's that develop leaks at the rim? Or, just NC700 wheels? I know others have reported rim leaks with the original factory tires. This Metzeler Z8 rear tire I bought from a forum member, nearly new. I mounted myself it a year and a half ago, and put 8000 miles on it, trouble free. Now after the winter, she's losing air. I find two spots on the rim leaking slowly. I find this strange because in 40 years of street riding (on tubeless since 1982), I have never found a leak like this along a rim, let alone on a fairly new bike and one or two year old tire.
Well, there won't be any more Metzelers to worry about. I have a PR4 and a Conti Motion in my stock for the next two rear tires.
