Tire Problem

I woke up this morning to drive to work and after driving for 15 minutes, I received a low tire pressure warning. Come to find out, I stop the car and the front left tire appears to be have very little air in it and after checking it with my manual tire pressure gauge, it shows no pressure at all. I inspect the tire and find no cracks, tears or cuts and after returning to my house, I refill the tire with air to find it completely capable of holding pressure even after a few hours. What gives and what could have caused this? Could a valve stem have gone loose or is it even possible to corner fast enough to slightly bend/pull the tire wall and lose air? This makes no sense and it appears that the tire lost pressure overnight yet today it's fine, this is a little worrisome and I am considering ordering non-rft tires.

Do you park in public area at night. Perhaps someone let the air out...

Perhaps a small fracture on the inside wall of your wheels?
