You say you put a new tire in - was that only a tube?

Follow advice above and also check the valve type. Is it a regular auto tire valve? Or is it the other type, called a Presta valve? Putting a Presta valve in a rim made for Schraeder (regular car type valve) leaves room for an easy flat there.
Where have you found the leak in the tubes? That is your biggest hint of what is happening. When you remove the tube, make certain you keep it aligned with the tire so you can find exactly where the hole is & look closely at the tire at that point.
Good luck!
