No, its not normal! you might have a minor puncture - or a nail stuck in.
Go to any wheels guy (most petrol stations have one) and have them check your tire out.

even i lose 1-2psi every 2 weeks or so. i think its got more to do with the temperature of the tyres when you check them. i try my best to check when its cold but come on its 42 degrees outside lol.

if your the @$$wipe who parks right in my villa parking spot on the weekends inspite of polite notes left on your windshiled then its me who keeps deflating your tyres :lol:

i dont think its a puncture coz all 4 tyres loose the same amount of pressure,, after some reading i found out tht for every 10degree change in temperature 1psi is lost,, so i also guess the heat is the issue..

lol no its not me..
