If the valve stems are rubber those valve extenders tend to aggravate the problem, the rubber valves tend to vibrate and the extender helps to crack it.
There can also be another problem, some cheap air pressure gauges, cheap ones tend to damage the valve internally and create a very small leak.
If you can install metal stem valves they are better, no wiggle and try to purchase a good pressure checker, one made in the USA.
There are gauges that are made for a dual tire set up, longer and the back end has a tighter arc so that it reaches behind the rim.
