You have a leak(s) somewhere.
At what point do you pay money to have the tire removed and the leak fixed?
One of my tires consistently (never worse or better) loses a psig or two every month. I've soap-bubbled the valve stem and nothing. The others, I maybe have to add air once/year, usually when they're a few lower than I like when the temps dip down, and the TPMS light is on due to the one actual leaker.
I don't see any reason to fix this leak.
I don't see a reason either.
My point is that there is no "standard" time period to check tire pressure, or "normal" leakage rate. The reasons for loss of tire pressure and the rate at which it leaks vary so widely that there is no way to accurately recommend when to add air.
There might be a constant very small leak...
Or there might be an intermittent small leak that only releases air when that area of the tire comes into contact with the road while rotating.
There is no way for us to know.
paulri needs to monitor the pressure on a regular basis and draw his own conclusions, any recommendations from us are pure conjecture.
