I don't know the answer.

What I do know is that you should use snoop or something of the like to locate the leak.

I would not replace the tire nor would I use a tube. If the leak is in the tire, it can be patched. If it is at the bead, get it re-seated. If it is at the valve, get it replaced. If you have alloy rims it is very likely it is at the bead. You will not likely need a new tire.
