If they are losing air they have a leak and changing the amount of air won't help. Get the leak fixed and I run 34 psi front and 30 rear. Check your tires sidewall for recomendations.

Kamaro,fill a spray bottle with some soapy water and spray the tire very generously over the treaded area and then around the sidewalls or visa versa, watch for tiny air bubbles, when spotted you have found your leak. My guess is that the bead area of the rim needs to be cleaned with a wire brush. This happens a lot when you replace your tires over the years without cleaning the rims. I don't think I've ever seen a tire store do this unless it is requested by you. Hope this helps.
