Sounds like the problem isnt the tyre but the Alloy. If its bent a tiny tiny bit it will leak gas.

To test, swap tyres with the other side and see if it still goes down on the same time.

if it does then get the alloy skimmed!!

Didn't some cars have problems with porous alloys?

Think it was 1994-7 from memory???

That may be it.
