Slow Puncture

Slow Puncture
It appears I've got a slow puncutre, takes 3-4 days before the TPMS light comes back on again.
So, I'm hoping I'm going to be able get it patched, but if I'm correct then I can only do this if the puncture is not on a sidewall?
Assuming the worst and it is on the sidewall, how many tires do I need to replace? All four tires are identical and have about 50% wear.
I guess i've got the option of replacing one, two or four, but I'm not sure which is recommended (obviously cheaper is better!)

I had a very strange slow leak for a while, It only seemed to happen at 80mph+ speeds. I figured something was happening as the pressure/heat rose that opened the leak.
I would dunk the tire and find no leaks. Later it was determined that the valve wasnt screwed on tight on the tire. worked fine since.

I had a puncture last summer and found someone selling their Potenzas with 6,000 miles on 'em—the mileage I had on my three other tires. Bought it for around $100. Way less than a new one, and matched to my other three.

If they're 18's I actually have two potenzas that probably have 35% tread left or so. You're welcome to one if you want to pay just enough to ship them and buy me a six pack..

Thanks for the offer, very generous.
I just measured my current tread depth and it's about 7/32". I guess yours would be a little less than this? I dont think I want to buy a tire with less tread as it'll mean I need to replace them all a little to early.
Let me know if they're similar.
Thanks.
