could it be leaking from the beads???? take them to a tire shop they will check it with water to be sure I would take em off and submerge in water to see if there are any bubbles, you find bubbles you will find the leak this way you will atleast know what is going on.

I you have chrome rims, the chrome sometimes gets loose and peels off the metal, which would cause a slow leak. I had that problem with chrome rims on my old Maxima few years ago.

Had the same problem with my 04 ES. Tires are 3 years old, Michelin, great tires, but still seem to leak a little . I think its my rims, aluminum rims change a lot with the weather.

Corrosion can make this happen. Shop will remove tire, sand down the inside and then remount should fix it.
