Loosing about 3-4 pounds per week. No nail, screw or anything found that has punctured the tire. TPMS reading is same as a manual gauge so the TPMS is working good. Just wondering if this has popped up before. Will be taking to the dealership soon. Thanks in advance.

Take it off and submerge it in water. You'll find the leak. It's either in the tire itself, the bead seal, or the valve stem. My guess is you have a tiny puncture in the tire itself that you just can't see unaided.

Yeah, good idea. Will need to find a bucket or tub bid enough for submerging.

BTW, what is the stud torque value for these wheels? Will need to know that when putting the wheel back on. Thanks.

You can also use soapy water and a spray bottle.
Pump the tire up to full pressure, spray a mild soapy solution on the tire, look for the bubbles.

Yes I prefer the soapy water to. It makes bubbles really easy to see. And you dont have to pull the wheel. Spray in place and just watch for bubbles forming.
