question about my new yokohama tires..

ok, i installed my new yokohama tires last thursday, and have driven approximately 300-400 miles on them, including a 150 mile trip back to school. about halfway through the trip, i noticed that my car was pulling ot the right, and when i got to school, i looked at my tires, and both the front and back right tires were on like 5 psi, instead of 40 like the others. i got out my portable pump and inflated them back to 40, and im going to check back tonite and see if they're all still at 40. is there a chance i could have punctured both the right tires? or is it just a coincidence that they both got so low?

edit: btw there was a lot of construction on the interstate

Never heard about some problem with Yokohama tires problem...maybe some road hazard....on the same side it is possible....!!!! Take your car to where you bought the tires to let them check them...Do you know that yokohama have some warenty for road hazard?? Read the paper they noramlly give with those brand new tires....I'm sure there is a warenty for this ....!
Yokohama also have a warenty for those bumps that can appears on the side of the tire....!!!

I had a hole in one of my rims, it was a manufacturing defect but it caused air to leak out. Thats probably not the case with yours because its on 2 wheels and not one. You may want to check your valve stems too.
