V50 Wheels/Tyres : - So what's the best course of action now..

The backstory: I bought the car, V50 1.6 Diesel Drive, which I am growing to really love and appreciate and take a bit of an interest in, a month ago.

After a couple of weeks I noticed the lh front tire was looking flatter and sure enough I had to put quite a bit of air in it.

The Test: I did a little tire pressure test,

The Friday before I pumped all the tires to 36 PSI, I noticed the lh front tire was down to 15 PSI

so I thought just check the tire pressure again, the same time, same place next Friday and see what the pressure is then.

3 of the tires lost about 3 PSI each (36 PSI to 33 PSI) but the lh front one was down to 19 PSI, expected bcs of the history but still a bit

..

I did a 330km commute between the 7 day test.

The Question: How long can I drive on this tire?

These are the tires

lhf (dodgy a) - COOPER ZEON C58 - 205/50ZR17 93W XL (FE=C, DB=70,WG=A) £75
rhf - ROADSHINE RS922 - 205/50R17 93W XL (?)
lhr - SAFERICH FRC26 - 205/50R17 93W XL (FE=C,DB=71,WG=B) £50
rhr - COOPER ZEON C58 - 205/50ZR17 93W XL (FE=C, DB=70,WG=A) £75
