Some people suck, it’s a slow leak. I drive the car mostly on weekends, didn’t notice until the TPM came on and passenger side was 28lbs everything else was 34. Filled it up to 34lb and let it sit for two weeks and it was back down to 28lbs.
Question is: can I take the rear tires off the rim, the 265’s, and put them up front and get some new 295’s for the rear. I’d rather get new rears since we are rear wheel drive.

If someone slashed your tire, I don't think your leak would be that slow.
Back in March this happened to me & it was a nail in the Potenza Tire. I took it to a Toyota dealer near me they charged me like $35 for the patch-fix.
Serious question, can you actually see the slash and do you have a pic of the slash? Or are you just assuming it was slashed? Because like someone else said a slash is a fast leak not a slow leak.
As for putting 265 tires on the front rims, the largest you can go is 255 on a 19x8.5 wheel.
Yeah where is the damage? Is it in the sidewall or the tread? If it's in the sidewall, it's probably unsafe to drive on it especially at highway speed.
Also, if you don't have a tire inflator, I highly recommend it. Even a $15 unit from Wal-Mart is better than nothing.
I found a screw about 1/4" long in my NX300h about a week before I traded it for the IS. It didn't leak but I could hear it and kind of feel it on the road and every time I checked my tires it was apparently on the bottom side until I finally found it. I pulled it out and no leak . Just goes to show you could have a screw or nail and not know it. As others have asked, do you actually see a slash or cut?

I thought so yes, but as you guys said, it was so slow, turned out to be a nail.
Here’s what I initially saw in the sidewall though…
