I have Factory alloys and I have to put air in mine once every three months or so. You have to do this to all four tires every time you get gas? What psi is it when its low and how high are you putting it?

Get them checked for leaks. My tires don't lose pressure for about 3 or 4 months. On stock rims as well.

how old are the tires?? tires have a life of about four years, then the rubber goes bad, even if it has 0 miles on it. they also lose about 1 PSI per month per tire

Ya, look to see if the tire has cracks in the surface. You should keep them protected with Meguires Tire Shine (Thats what I use). Its also normal to loose tire pressure, esp. if you go over big bumps that put alot of pressure on the tires. You should only have to check them once everytime you do your oil.

Also .. if your slammed, then your camber might be wearing down the inside of your tires so bad that their leaking air.
