Very strange CAR trouble...Flat tire every few months!

I have this very weird problem. I am almost 100% sure its not fould play coz i verified it
many times with the mechanic, tire places, ...no punctures...garaged..etc.

OK.. so rear passenger tire goes flat...change that, 2 weeks later right rear goes....
3 months later front driver goes flat...wtf?!

Yesterday(2-3months after), rear passenger is again at like 15psi. I went to fill it back up to around 32.
This morning it looks and feels fine. so WTF?!

And a few times at tire shop they said, cannot find hole so they just refilled it, changed the stem coz they said
maybe it was leaking there. But still seems to be losing air but very slowly...

So any experts?...what u think?...i have a gremlin letting off air in my car? I was thinking maybe my rims
are fvcked ..like uneven?...so after tire inflation its not fully set together causing air-loss when i drive, go over bumps etc...? 😕
 
you wouldnt happen to be rotating your tires and it just happens the same one is leaking in different locations. You may have an issue with the bead of the tire. Put the entire tire under water and see if you see any bubbles.

Rear passenger tire = right rear tire

I guess just general wear on the tire. My front two tires were both around 27psi yesterday when I filled them up (just got them a couple months back) while the rear two were both at 35psi and I haven't filled those in months.
 
Hmm... my guess was gonna be the gremlin, but what do I know.

Actually, I had to get a nail removed from my front passenger tire today.
 
i got cheapo factory rims, non-alloy...and i have driven for like 1 mile on a flat before...
so i'm not surprised if the rims are little out of shape...bendy. 🙁
