How much pressure are you losing?

If the tires are new I'd go back to where you bought them for a look.

Theres probably a bad bead somewhere. Either one of the tires is damaged from improper mounting witch can occur. My guess would be a small bend near the outter lip of the wheel at the bead.

Take the tire off and fill a rubbermaid bin with a little bit of soap in water. Turn the tire slowly untill you see allot of bubbles. That should be where the leak is coming from.

Take the car to the place where you bought the tires from. If they are the stock tires and the warranty is expired, then take the car to a place such as discount tire or NTB. They fix leaks at a pretty good price and if you got the tires from them, they fix flats/leaks for free, no questions asked.
