Default Tires Leaking??

I just bought two new Eagle F1 GS D3's for my two rear tires because on the front I have a Nanking EX 500 or something like that (did not get traction). The front tires I fill to 32 psi, just around the manufacturers request. But every since I got the back to tires they keep leaking. Is this cause I'm not filling them enough or do I have a leak (both tires lose air (lots)) The first day I filled them to 30 and they went down to 24, second day 32 they went down to around 25, and the third day to 34 and one went down to 24 the other 28. Has anyone had this problem or kno what I'm doing wrong, please help??

I also wondered what should I be filling the back tires to, is it bad if the pressures between the front and back are drastically off?

Sometimes when you get new tires they don't sit just right on your rims. Wide tires will stick out past the edge of the rim and cause the tire to leak. That happened to a couple of my tires. Just take it back to a garage and they'll fix it for you.

Be sure to have them check the valve stems too. I had one spring a leak on me.

turns out the garage that did it didn't seat the valve stems right, so the problem should be fixed, i'll find out over the next couple days
