Tires
While ago, I got a flat. Ever since then, I've been checking the tire pressure more frequently. I noticed that the air pressure in the back tires (especially the repaired one) often goes down quickly (e.g., goes from 44 to 38 in span of two weeks). Does this sound right? Is this an attribute of high pressure tires, or is my flat poorly repaired?
Other than tirerack.com, any other place to purchase Pzero's (285/30ZR18N4) online?
Any recommendations for tire stores in the sf bay area that carries this tire?

depends if the flat was repaired by plug or by patch, the patch is a better safer way to fix it, if it is plugged by chance have it patched,i would have it double checked it shouldnt lose any air, hope this helps JAS

Based on my experience with the P-Zero's on my 2001 996 Coupe (10,500 miles now - OEM tires) YOUR experience is normal.
My car is garaged, but as it sits for 3-6 days between drives I lose pressure all the way around. No big deal.
