Default quick tire question.

my tire seems like it's flat. I recently added air and for a few seconds, the tire looked "normal." Now, the tire seems to be on the verge of popping. Is it becasue the engine is heavy? Oh, and i do not have any holes/punctures on ne of my tires. Im just wondering if this is ok because both my back tires look "normal."

You probably need new tires. How old are they? It's probably leaking air, slowly.

If you live near a Discount Tire, they will probably give you a tire gauge for free. You should be running 30-32psi in all your tires

the tires in the front are going to look lower in pressure than the back because of the weight of the motor. get a tire pressure gage to check them.

Another thing- don't forget that you're going to get different readings depending on when you looked at your tires. If you check them cold, you'll obviously have different readings than if you check them hot. Could be why you said your tires were "on the verge of popping". I know it's something that should be obvious, but it's always the small things that turn into major problems.
