Default Porous wheels (Inovit Redline)

I've had new tyres (Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5) fitted a few months ago. The front right regularly loses around 10psi or so quickly. Has anyone had an issue with these wheels or tyres going porous? Going to pop down to the local ATS Euromaster but thought I would ask.

I'm also slightly suspicious someone might be letting it down so may be back asking for dashcam advice...

There's a couple of families who are extremely possessive of the spaces just outside the block of flats - spaces aren't allocated. There's also an Ecuadorian **** who doesn't even live on our estate but uses it as his own personal Kwik Fit doing cash jobs and filling it with cars at the weekend - we've had words. He is related to the possessive parkers.

So might be the wheels, just thought I'd check

More than likely just muck at the rear sealing face if the alloy.

Tyre off . Wire brush the back sealing face. Clean with brake cleaner. Refit.

Demand a leak test once refitted fairy liquid and water.

Been down to ATS Euromaster who fitted the tyres originally. Did the above for free and seems to have solved the issue so far.
