Spend 4 quid in quick fit and have hem filled with nitrogen. If they up, not harm, if they go down, could be bad alves or If they still go down possibly bad beading (have the beads broken and remount the tyres)

could be the laquer peeling inside the wheel where it seats on the bead, take tyres off and clean with wire brush then have the tyre place refit with rim sealer, and have new valve at same time, we charge about 6 pound for the service but some times its better toi get them refurbed on the inside of the wheel, if that fails then could be the alloy that has a hairline crack in it thats not visable to the eye
