Slow puncture?

After about a week I lose 5-10psi per wheel. Is this normal or down to cheap tubes and would slime solve the problem. I think the tubes are both from Halfords approx 3 months old with Schrader valves, no patches. The tyres are Continental with kevlar reinforcement.

    hi, i use the halfords tubes (i work for them) , try tightening the valve core (the part in the centre of the valve). if this doesn't work, take it back to halfords and eplain the problem, they shoul give you a new tube, or fix them.
    if you're not crashing, you're not trying.

    Do you check tyre pressure after your rides? It's likely that you lose some of that from riding, also lose some pressure from the bike sitting in the shed, it's quite normal and I always check pressures before a ride
