Tyres and wheel rims are so good that you either have a puncture or not. You can usually tell by it not being round at the bottom.
Unless you drive on biliard smooth roads all the time....oh yes you do. The dismal GB roads with all their potholes. The bead gets minutely broken as the wheel assembly drops into and out if them them. So pressure is lost.

My Porsche App tpms screenshot..which is the same info as the in-car display screen. On another day's trip end, all showed zero +/-0. Pressures not physically adjusted in the interim. Both times at over an hour after coming to rest. So no problem with tpms valves.

The actual pressures are checked with a Michelin dual barrel foot pump and are absolutely correct. Cross checked with a quality dial gauge - know which I feel is true.
Today's screen shot....spot the difference in pressures. I deliberately avoid any and all potholes too.

Mine shows this, but it does vary on occasion ÷/- 1-2 psi. But I have not checked the pressures manually since I returned from a 4000 miles trip in august.

Sorry but I don't know of anyone (apart from you) who's had to do this in the last 15 years. My RS6 had low profile tyres and not once did the pressures need adjusting.
I've done over 26k in my works van over building sites, farm land, seriously rough roads and still not had to adjust the pressures.

In fairness, the front near side tyre on mine needed 3psi putting into it recently. All the other three were at the same pressure (and still are) as when I drove it out the OPC last April… 🤷‍♂️

I suggest you ask any garage service outlet - main dealer or independent - if they ever need to (usually) inflate their customers' tyres to bring to the correct pressure when their vehicle comes in for service? I will be AMAZED if they say "no they're always spot on". :roll:

I don’t think I will do that Sac, I just don’t care enough about the subject 😂
I check the dash display from time to time, and if I need to pump up I do - just saying three of them have stayed the same for the last eight months…
Don’t know if that’s unusual or par for the course - again just check from time to time and act accordingly 😊

This is not aimed at Jon. This is to confirm that all pneumatic tyres loose pressure. This is from Protyre...
