If it's down 20 or more PSI overnight I know something is definitely wrong and will pull the tire off and check both tire and tube very carefully before riding on it.

BTW, if the tire was filled from a CO2 cannister it will lose a whole bunch of pressure overnight - that's normal, just pump it up each day - once the CO@ has leaked out and is replaced by air it will act normally again.

There is an easier way to get this, when you get home, let the CO2 out and refill with air.
