tires not holding air?
i have yokohama tires which were rotated and inflated about 3-4 weeks ago. today i checked the psi and all 4 were almost 10psi under inflated. i had them filled to about 41psi and now they all were about 33-32psi. whats going on? i checked to see if maybe the odds were against me and i somehow had a leak in all 4 tires but i didnt see anything. is this normal? i never had to fill my stock firestones this soon.

Rep Power: 787 Either the tires aren't able to hold high pressures, or you have a slow leak around the bead of the tire where it seals against the rim. They may not be fitting right.

Rep Power: 487 yeah, take it to a tire shop and they could put some sealent on it to stop it from leaking. if you have a pool or a big tub, put one whole rim in there and look where the bubbles come from. that will be where your leak is. might be the valve too.
