Acceptable tire pressure loss?

Thanks for the responses. When I dropped it off to storage it was 104* outside. Yesterday when I brought it home and checked pressure in the evening it was about 83*.

There's your 3 psi difference. If all tires dropped about the same it's temp related. If you had a leak in the rim, valve, etc, it would show in one tire more than the others.

I pretty much agree with your statement but that isn’t always the case…

I use the rubber high pressure stems because the metal stems do not set and seal right in my rims…
When I had this set of tires installed I had unfortunately ended up with 4 of the Chinese recalled rubber stems that all leaked between the rubber and metal part of the stems…

That was the most ineffective recall ever because there is no marking on the stems themselves to identify them for the recall, many millions distributed, no record keeping of to whom or where they were sold, and poor stock rotation causing some to still be used many years after the recall, and a few may still be getting installed…
