I'm running nokian c2 Hakkapeliitas (185-14) on both my vanagons and
have been for several years with no deflation problems.


I'd suggest you air them up good and use a spray bottle with a little
dish detergent in water to see if you can spot any bubbles.  It could be
that you have leaky valve stems or leaky valve cores so don't overlook
those in the process.
