Tire notification rant

SAmilitaryman · 06-26-2013, 11:46 AM

I check my tires when the gauge turns on. Takes a total of like 15 minutes to drive to the air machine, pull out the pressure gauge i keep in the glove compartment, check all 4 tires to find the culprit, fill the tire and get back to work.

Pure and utter laziness if this is too much work for you to do.

Oh and yes I check my fluids 3 times a week and before going on a cruise. It's a vehicle. A machine. If you don't keep it up it will break down and then you will come on here crying about how you don't know whats wrong.

If 1 tire is low, then they are all probably low, unless you have one tire that is leaking air, due to damage.

I found that cars will actually loose about 10 psi per tire over about a 2 month period , if not checked weekly.

This.

My tires came filled with nitrogen, and I've only had to add ~10psi total over the last 18 months. It gets topped off with regular air, though, so I'd expect that to increase as the percentage of nitrogen goes down. That's ok since the air hose for my compressor is hanging from the ceiling 3 feet from the car.
