You could probably have a small nail or something in it but if you want to try the stems first get a spray bottle with some some and water and spray the stems and when you spray them move them side to side to see you any air is hissing out.
Also check the core inside the valve stem to make sure it's screwed in tight. If it's loose it will cause it to loose air too. Belle Tire fixes punctures for free if they're in you're area. Just took my tire there to get a nail removed and patched.

i'm doubting its a puncture granted the leak started since that tires were brand new. i'm guessing valve stems and i'm just gonna have a local tire shop look at it. thanks for the suggestions guys... much appreciated
