Nitrogen FTW! I haven't lost any pressure ever since I got my new tires put on and the weather here is below zero most of the time in the winter. I'll be getting nitrogen in my tires from now on, so worth it. No more waking up to go work and one or more of my tires are very noticeably low.
I would also check to see if there is air in the spare tire as well. When I bought my SC, the spare tire only had 10psi in it. It would be no fun to get a flat and realize that your spare tire is flat.
When we bought my g/f's Honda I checked to see if it had a donut. What I didn't do was take it out and inspect it. The first time she got a flat, I pulled the donut out only to find that it had been slashed on the underside. Not sure who slashes a donut, but for that matter, who keeps a slashed donut when they are $15 at a junkyard?

Is this just on the 452 series? I've been running 512's for a while now and have not had any issues. A few friends have been running 912's and love them.

Nothing wrong with 912's, it's the 452 series. But I'll still call them Failken for now on and never buy another one. I'm only buying good name brand tires this year.
The brand new special looking valve stems that came with my Enkei's leak (3 out of 4) after only a few thousand miles...but at least my tires themselves don't!
