Is it normal for tire pressure to overnight in my Suzuki Alto?

I’ve noticed that my Suzuki Alto’s tire pressure seems to slightly overnight. Is this normal, o r should I be concerned that there’s a slow leak in one of the tires? How can I check for leaks o r irregularities?

It is normal for tire pressure to slightly overnight, but if the pressure is significant, it could indicate a problem. Here’s what typically happens:

Normal Pressure : Tire pressure can naturally decrease by about 1-2 PSI pounds per square inch overnight due to temperature changes. The tires cool down, and the air inside contracts, leading to a small in pressure.
Abnormal Pressure : If the tire pressure s more than that, it could be a sign of a slow leak. This could be caused by a puncture, valve stem issue, o r worn tire.
How to fix it:

Check for leaks: If the pressure is more than just a couple of PSI, inspect the tires for punctures o r other issues. You can do this by applying soapy water to the tire and looking for bubbles, o r by taking the car to a mechanic for a proper inspection.
Check the valve stems: Sometimes, the valve stem itself may be damaged o r worn, leading to air loss. Have the valve stem inspected and replaced if necessary.
Monitor tire pressure: If the continues, it’s essential to address the issue immediately to avoid further tire damage and ensure your safety.
