Difficult to make any judgments yet since its been stored quite a bit. Bring the tire pressure to 30lbs, continue to drive it and monitor it closely. It may be fine. I suspect you don't have a leak problem because it'd be pretty unusual to have leaks in all four tires.

This is definetily something to check. I had this problem last summer with ny new 07. Drove me nuts. Also check the stem caps, and make sure the little gasket is able to make a good seal. Also check to see that nothing is jammed in the stem end itself causing a minor leak.
My tires have since stabilized, even during winter storage.
