I have noticed loss of pressure on my wheels but it was due to the valves. I noticed after washing the car, a hissing from the wheels, but by waggling the valve it altered the hissing sound so the valve needed changing. Just had two new tyres fitted to the rears with new valves and they haven't suffered any pressure loss so far, just got to wait until i wear out the front run flats so i can get new valves in these too.
