Okay a few days ago (Friday) I put in air in three out of four of my tires, I got the front driverside tire up to 30 psi because the timer ran out on the air pump, by the time I get home it's at 26psi and today it reads 21psi, wtf I manually check the psi (I have a 2013 jk that(it reads the tire pressure)) and it was correct when it was 26psi, do you think I have a whole or something because it doesn't appear to be leaking anywhere that I've looked and it hasn't been punctured
What should I do?

Get the hose. Drench the tire. And start looking for bubbles. I'd start there.

If you find bubbles. Get the plug kit out and go to town!

I have used windex because of the bubbles. Also look at you valve stem it might have a slow leak. Some of the air stations are not the best and can bend the valve core.

I always used the dishsoapy water in a spray bottle technique. It makes the bubbling more obvious with the soap. Never tried the windex system like mentioned above so not sure which works better.

A lot of tire places will fix a tire for free or very cheap. I'd just take it in. 👍

Do you air down with a currie or arb deflator? If so, make sure your valve cores were tightened back properly. (Dont ask how I know...:naw:)

As others have suggested, check the valve stems with soapy water and see if you get bubbles. Did you have new tires/tpms stems mounted recently...:thinking:
