I've noticed that I 2 of my tires have a slow leak from around the rim. I also realized that the tires are 31/10.5/15 and the spare which I am assuming is the original stock tire size is 30/9.5/15. Could it be bacuse the tires I have on there are 10.5 instead of 9.5. I bought the jeep like this about 2-3 months ago. if it is what is causing it is there anything I can do instead of buying new tires to at least keep them giong until I need new ones or can afford it?
Thanks,
Gabe

I would just take them to a tire shop and have them take a look. Probably will just remove the tires from the rims, clean the rims and re-install the tires.
It's unlikely it is because of the tire size. 10.5 and 9.5 tires will fit fine on your rims, if you have either 15x7'' or 15x8'' rims, which you more than likely do, as they were the stock sizes.

I did have it into canadian tire because one went completely flat and they said they fixed it but same 1 of the 2 tires now is the one they suposidely fixed for $25 plus tax. lol do you think one of those slow leak repair cans might work for now?

I get leaks all the time because dirt and crap from offroading just between the rim and the tire and causes the leak. If you don't want to take it in, let all the air out of the tire and with a screwdriver or something similar clean around the rim. Give that a try.
