I don't know about your situation but I set my tire pressure before every
event, and I thought I was adding a bit of air, It did not become clear to
me untill The pro this weekend, I set the tire psi. ran saturday, parked the
car, came back sunday and the tires were 15lbs low (all 4) I did not get
this with my previous BFG's on the same rims.. and the fact that all 4 were
the same amount low makes me think this could be so
YMMV
