AZENIS losing tire pressure when new?
Has anybody had any experience as to the tires losing pressure when they are new. I had to fill the front tires up once since I had them put on (week ago) I am not sure if thats normal.

Chances are better on the valve stem when a tire is brand new. But don't overlook a nail. Soapy water will tell you sometimes where to look...but not always on an extremely slow leak...

If it a valve stem, here's a check you can do.
Spit on your finger if soapy water is not available and put it around the base of the valve stem. The base is where the valve stem meets the wheel. Move the valve stem around to see if you start seeing bubbles.
Spit on your finger again and put it at the opening of the valve stem and again, see if you have bubbles.
If bubble appear at the base of the valve stem, then it was either installed wrong or your valve stem doesn't create a good seal anymore and needs to be replaced. If it's the latter, then you can get this tool where you stick it in the valve stem hole and just screw the pin inside the tube tight. If it's neither, then you got a hole in your tire and I'm sure you know how to fix that yourself.
CPR - Who's had his share of valve stem issues and they always seem to happen during track days.
