The bead might have gotten sand in them. Pop beads & clean them.

The problem with Swampers and low air pressure is the stiff sidewall. When you hit a rock it pushes in the bead and dirt/rock/mud/sand gets between the rim and tire which can cause a leak. Bead sealer here helps but it will still leak a bit--beadlocks man!
