Rubber is actually somewhat porous. A few pounds a year are normal. The number one cause of air loss is usually rim leaks that cannot be seen. Spray soap water solution around the rim to see them. Most tire places will not clean the rim properly when they mount tires and rely on rim sealers that sometimes don't work. On an older car, the rims get rusted in the bead area and need sanding and buffing to seal properly.

Tires air pressure?
It depends on the tire type and the load of the vehicle. Tire pressure is the amount of air in a tire that inflates the tire to the maker's specifications. For specific tire pressure on a specific vehicle, please look at the sidewall area, as most tires display the recommended pressure according to maximum load.
Why do bicycle tires lose more air in the winter than in summer?

What is the characteristic of pressure loss in tires?
The tires go flat. The tires lose air even if they don't have any defects or holes, the air goes right through the rubber by osmosis.

Probably a good science project in this.
