IMO, that's not a characteristic of S2000s in general. My tire pressures are rock stable for weeks on end. I have to add a pound or two about every two months (except in the fall, of course, when temperatures drop). It's so little difference that I usually just use a bicycle pump.

It's a problem with your tires and/or valves, and it can be fixed.

I believe that that may be good advice. I had a similar problem (pulling to the right) on my Rover Sterling, which couldn't be corrected by a wheel alignment. Turned out that one tire (bought in a set of 4) was weighted unevenly due to a faulty manufacturing process. The tire shop told me it happens with about 2% of all tires, and is difficult to identify, even during an wheel alignment check. Typically, most tire mechanics will (unknowingly) mask the effects of uneven tire weight distribution by adding more counterweights on the rim, or even by offsetting the steering.

Pretty good. I haven't been yet, but I figured the tire manufactures would send me back to Honda. That's usually what happens...back and forth. Anyway, I'll give it a shot.
