Two to 4 months is a very long time to go between pumping tires. My tires usually drop 10 to 20 pounds per week at home or on the road. Perhaps you just started noticing them recently. Just in case you have a slow leaker, do a water test and run a cotton ball around the inside of the tire. The cotton will catch on the stuff in the tire and pull off some fibers. Saves your fingers
