Modern tires without inner tubes rely on the bead of contact between tire and rim to hold air. If there is anything loose in that bead, air leaks out. Winter time low outside temperature reduces the air pressure in the tire, and therefore reduces the pressure that pushes the bead against the rim, causing possible leak, which then accelerates leakage as pressure declines further.
One solution is raising the tire pressure to about 35PSI or higher. However, make sure it stays below the maximum allowed pressure specified by the tire. Some tires specify max at 36 PSI, some max at 44PSI.
