Up until last May I worked at a Firestone and have done hundreds of tires. I think by the 3rd time the owner should have personally done them for you. Yes if you have aluminum wheels the bead area will corrode and we would clean them with the wire wheel. Installation of your new sensors should have been torqued correctly. Most are 35 inch pounds. Maybe yours are over tightened and that could be your leak source. The only other thing i can think of is the bead area is so pitted that it may need the help of bead sealer brushed around it. That's a black gooey tar like goop that gets brushed around the inside edge of the wheel to act as a gasket sealing all the irregularities of the tire bead and the wheel bead area lip. I think my old manager would have tried new tires also to eliminate the possibility of the wheels.
Oh yeah and like the poster above me said while they were still mounted I would have to locate the leak either with a spay bottle around the bead and stem or in the water tank.
this doesn't sound to me to be a date problem.
