Default help needed

i have no clue where to post this so i decided to post it here. In about a weeks time, my tires go flat (mainly my back right tire). I have no idea if it's the rims or the tires themselves. I have to put air in them at least once a week or ill be riding on about 5 to 10 psi in my tires. if anyone has any ideas about what it could be let me know.

Valve stem maybe? A tire shop can check for leaks or you can pour some soapy water on it and look for bubbles.

You have a leak.

When did it start happening? Did you hit anything recently? You need to go to a trusted tire shop and have them search for the leak, could be the tire or perhaps the wheel.

Sounds like a rim leak to me. As the other guys suggested, just take
it to a tire shop if you don't want to mess around with it yourself.
