YIKES! I put 3,300 miles last season on a brand new set of Lasertecs and they are worn half way as measured on the centre tread. The next set with be another pair of Lasertecs or the Pilot Activ. My riding is all one-up and virtually all highway. I don’t commute or ride around in the city. I also check and adjust tire pressure before every ride without fail.
I have about 1000 miles on my Lasertecs and like them so far, what do you run for pressure? I have been down around recommended per the manual. 33 and 36 in back. Wondering if I should bump them up some more.
As per page 63 in my owners manual for one-up riding:
Front:32 PSI.
Rear: 35.5 PSI.
I also constantly lose air in the rear tire. I can lose 2 PSI overnight or 5 PSI over the course of a week or........ It's all over the place. It's not as bad in the front or at all. I went for a ride yesterday, Saturday, and I had previously checked/adjusted the air pressures on Friday. Before riding on Saturday, the rear had dropped 2 PSI and the front was perfectly fine. Stock tire sizes BTW.

A couple PSI per day (assuming you're taking each temperature while the tire is cold) would lead me to believe that there's a problem with the tire. You may have picked up a small piece of metal or possibly a slow leak around the valve stem or maybe the valve core? A spray of soapy water will generally tell you if you have a leak.
Also, a slight leak at the bead is possible. I once had this issue and wound up dismounting the tire and cleaning all of the rubber stuck to the wheel bead. I should have done this when I mounted the tire. Now every tire the wheel gets wire brushed.
I'm pretty sure that this is the issue as they have been like this from day 1. Dismounting them will cost because I can't do it myself. I'll wait for the next tire change and tell the shop about the issue and to make sure they clean the wheels properly.
