Replying to: spiff72 (Jul 24, 2006 7:13 pm) The band is not there when you are below 25mpg.   Wouldn't know, never been there.

Replying to: wvgasguy (Aug 28, 2006 3:33 pm) Exactly.   You should follow the auto manufacturers guidelines for the proper inflation of your particular make/model.   And of course, the pounds of inflation are always meant to be adjusted on tires that have not been run more than a mile or two. That will give you the proper operating pressure.

Replying to: wvgasguy (Aug 28, 2006 3:33 pm) Precisely, one should NEVER deviate from the recommended cold tire pressure (located on the driver's door frame lower right) specific for the make/model of the vehicle. I check the tire air pressure every morning while the vehicles parked inside the garage and make sure do not exceed 1-2psi when tires are cold.   As an FYI, I have an expensive digital air gauge and checked the air pressure after driving my 2007 TCH for just over 15 miles and registered 38psi...

That's dedication. I assume you mean that the tires do not exceed 1-2psi above the recommended pressure?

Replying to: agnosto (Oct 04, 2006 12:07 am) why check them?? don't you have the sensors??? sounds a bit anul to me lol. Replies to this message: wvgasguy (Oct 04, 2006 5:26 pm) agnosto (Oct 05, 2006 10:02 pm) terry92270 (Oct 06, 2006 12:03 am) and 1 more... agnosto (Oct 05, 2006 9:48 pm)

Replying to: regal1945 (Oct 04, 2006 3:29 pm) why check them?? don't you have the sensors???   I would agree that daily is a little extreme. However, if the TPMS has a 5psig (?) lower limit then I would not want to totally rely on that. That to me is just a back up for a severe pressure loss. If I set my pressure at 32 I wouldn't want to be driving around at 28. Not that it would hurt anything but FE, but I would want to keep them close to what I have determined to be optimal.   I usually check once a month and when the weather starts changing Replies to this message: agnosto (Oct 05, 2006 10:02 pm) terry92270 (Oct 06, 2006 12:03 am) stevedebi (Oct 06, 2006 9:52 am)

Replying to: wvgasguy (Oct 04, 2006 5:26 pm) If you set your pressure at 32psi when cold in (summer or winter) you should not have to worry driving around at 28psi (unless you have a defective tire(s)). Replies to this message: terry92270 (Oct 06, 2006 12:03 am) stevedebi (Oct 06, 2006 9:52 am)

Replying to: agnosto (Oct 05, 2006 10:02 pm) The single cheapest improvement one can make when getting a new car, any car, really, is metal valve stems. The rubber ones rot and slow leak quickly in places with weather extremes, or terribly hot areas like the desert Southwest. Replies to this message: stevedebi (Oct 06, 2006 9:52 am)
