Had the similar problem on my S110 rear wheel. Did the soap bubble trick & even submerged it in a metal wash tub. No apparent leak. Put it back on the mower few days later flat again. Dealer suggested bent rim outa round ever so slightly. I eventually wound up replacing mine with a new tire/rim. No problems ever since.

Time to either buy a new tire or put Slime in the tire you have. Slime is high viscosity and will seep very slowly through wherever your leak is located. You may never see Slime on the outside of the tire. It may totally fix your leak.
Had exactly the same symptoms on my JD X-370 left rear. Not a huge Slime fan, but it fixed the problem. That was two years ago . . .

Leave Rim leak detection for a few minutes before looking. I use Windshield Washer fluid or Snoop if you can get it.
Don't forget the Tread and sidewall areas and Valve Core.
