Jay,
I fill mine every few months and they lose 5-8 psi over the 2 months, which
is not too bad.

Check the valve every time after you inflate. I mean check it with a daub
of saliva or a spray bottle of water (soapy water even better yet). I'll
bet the valve is not closing completely. I have had many brand new aircraft
tubes with valves that seat intermittently. Many times I just flick the
center pin of the core after finding it leaking.....and the bubbling stops.

One of our least favorite jobs (thanks to our "Fancy Pants" with their
stupid, under-sized access doors) is airing up the tires on our
Pathfinder.

How often do you guys have to fill your tires?
