Losing Tire PSI

I notice I lose about 2 PSI almost every week, especially in front. Is this normal?

FYI, I have the Pirelli PZero Nero 225/40/R18 ZR M+S on the Enkei EMX Super 7. I load it up like this: 35psi front, 31psi rear.

no it is not normal. have your tires checked and your rims. make sure there are no puntures in your tires and no cracks in your rims.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU MOST HAVE A SLOW LEAK EITHER YOU TIRE OR DID YOU BY CHANCE DAMAGE YOUR RIM MAYBE BY HITTING A CURB OR SOMETHING

I think your 'caps lock' might be on.

not sure if you solved the problem or not... but if you have custom wheels, a lot of time the hammer on weights will cause air to seep out around the weight. Have them balanced with stick on weights and that might solve the problem.
