Default Questions for those with stock Potenzas

First, what tire pressures do y'all run for normal street driving?

And more importantly, does anyone have any idea why my tires (all of them) leak air pressure badly? After noticing several months ago I noticed one of my tires was wearing quickly on the sidewall, I have been monitoring pressures. I notice that they lose about 1.5 psi every day.

Is there something I can do about this thru AOA or Bridgestone? I'm getting tired of having to add air all the time.

Thanks

Default check for nails or any punctures...

also, when you check the amount of air in your tires, make sure that you're doing them at a time which is consistant (checking warm and cold tires and comparing them may affect actual readings). eg: check them when tires are cold.

get into touch with your dealer and explain the problems on your next visit to see what they can do.
