I am running nitrogen, mine will fluctuate from 34 PSI (30 degrees) up to 41 PSI (100 degrees) on both the GY g2's and the BFG comp 2 a/s

I usually put air in them up to around 38 psi right before I park it for winter, then don't have to put any air in again till sometime in the summer

My right rear tire just started to loose pressure last week, by 2 PSI. Might have to have it checked out.

Are you swapping out the summer air for the winter? The winter air makes a HUGE difference.

Just kidding!
Though for every 10 degree increase in temp you gain 1 psi and for every 10 degree drop in temp you lose 1 psi.

Glad to hear that I am not alone with this problem. In response to those who mentioned the temperature factor - this situation occurs pretty much the same way whether the weather is 90-100 degrees in the summer or 30 - 40 degrees in the colder months. I always air up the tires when they are cold. If the pressure does not get up to 37 - 38 psi when warm I will blow them up to that level if I am not going to be home soon. That is the pressure that they usually get to when they start cold at 35.

Why not try to inflate to 38 or there about , take the darn wheel off the car put it in a tub like thing with enough water in it and see if you can find the place from where the air is escaping !
Then go from there !! Genius huh !!!
