Default Tire Pressure

for some reason, my pressure falls pretty quickly. I didn't check it for a few months and front left was at 19 psi, christ!!!! others were at 28psi. That's explained the car pulling to the left and uneven tire wear. Not to mention the MPG not passing 18.5 with 1/2 highway driving.

Remove the tire and check for leaks. A small nail can cause the pressure to drop 5 PSI/week. BTW put 35 PSI in the tires.

Yeah, it can be surprisingly hard to tell when you have a flat tire with the run-flat tires and no TPMS.....

Tires will normally lose pressure over time, especially in cold weather. My '06 350Z and the sold '05 G35, both seem to lose tire pressure faster than any other vehicle that I've previously owned [Even in warm weather & not driven a lot].
