It seem that my right side rear tire are flating at a really slow rate. Sometime it take a week and other it take about 2-3 week or more to deflat. I'm not exactly sure what going on...Do I need a new a new tire? or is there something I can use to help my car tire from deflating?

A slow leak can be the tire, the valve stem or the wheel. If you live in an area where cars have a tendency to rust, so do wheels. Steel wheels can be repaired, aluminum or mag wheels cannot.
If your leak is that slow it is probably not a puncture in the tire. It is either a bad valve stem or a leaking wheel.
I wouldn't use the spray stuff unless it was an emergency, eventually it will crumble and you'll never get the tire to balance again unless you take it off and clean it out.

well first you need to find where it is leaking at. which is kinda the easy part. you can do a visual inspection of the tire for any thing that might have punctured the tire. if you see nothing then get you a spray bottle with a mixture of soap and water. spray the tire and rim assy. down and watch for bubbles. if you see bubbles from around the rim you should take it to a tire shop for dismount and have the rim cleaned up and resealed. if it comes from the valve steam area take it to a tire shop and have a new valve steam installed.. and finally if it comes from anywhere else on the tire have a tire shop look at it to see if it is repairable or if it should be replaced. just a few options for you to consider.

Take it to a repair place, or take it off and put it in a large tub of water and look for air bubbles, if you're lucky it's just a loose valve core. The tire shop can repair it. If you wanna see the people curse at the tire place, put some fix a flat inside your tire. It really gets them hopping mad, makes it a pain to fix with a patch glued inside because of all the yucky stuff from the fix a flat!

I accept as true with Brad S. If the vehicle has been sitting for a pair of weeks and the tires have been in solid condition interior the 1st place, i could in simple terms fill them up back to the right tire stress (sticky label is the two on the door physique or glove field and likewise information is interior your proprietor's handbook), and stress around a on the same time as, turn corners at a low speed etc.....to make advantageous they are working until now making any attempt to shuttle on any intense speed roads.
