It's cold , check your tire psi

[P40E]

That air be shrinking in your tires .

Before you get a flat in 5 degree weather , check your tire pressures .

good call.

my truck doesn't have tpms so i should check

 

[DEEZUZ]

But but but... do you check hot or cold.....

You should be running like 75psi in your tires I bet your good even with shrinkage lol

i dunno. that's why i wanna check to make sure im gooood

I usually set mine at 42-43 in these frigid winters and 45 in the summer.

 

[SinisterSHO]

I need to have one of mine checked, it's been gradually leaking since I had them put on.

Good lord. Finally got the out of balance tires swapped on the Cummins and the air pressures were all different. Went back and had them "fix" it.

By the time i drove 5mi home the front tire TPMS were reading 86psi in the fronts! Needless to say, they filled the fronts when it was dead cold outside.

So i went out last night and dropped them to 70psi cold. Drove this morning, and they got up to 76psi in less than 10mi.

Crazy how far the pressure can change with just a little heat when its this cold.

It's because the air is spinning around so fast it causes the tire to get more pressour.

burnout vids?

Lol no burnouts!

DT by me has a line for courtesy checks has been like a half hour long everyday.

I'm so glad I got that air compressor years ago. It is almost virtually impossible to find a functioning air pump at a gas station in the winter. I once went to four different gas stations in one trip, none had a functioning air pump.

I got tires installed last Friday at DT. There were at least a dozen cars waiting for an air check.

 

[EmersonHart13]

You should check it anyway. DT underfilled my new tires because their computer was wrong and they can't read the sticker in the door jamb.

And they can't balance for shit either, I need to go back for a rebalance already.

People are so lazy. They told me they have a local cop come through at least once a week. Tire obviously needs repair or replacement and he could go to the city repair shop to get air, but instead he sits in the DT line and has them fill it.

Our tax dollars hard at work.

 

[jason05gt]

Always check the tire pressures after. DT never gets it right. I've had tires that were overfilled by almost 10 psi.

The swapped winter wheels on, apparently flipped one because it was on backwards. Two days later TMPS light for low pressure, looked at them and they were all lower than they should be hot.

I just got mine mounted like a week ago, figured I should check to at least see what they put in them, yeah only 40 psi, this is on my excursion fill um back up to 70

 

[Flyn]

Mine are good. :smile:

Seriously, I check them every couple months anyway.

Marathons are always free and all of them work around me.

Dodge tells me what it is from the dic. I'm good there.

DT just installed tires on the van. I should check those.

Shell by my work is free, but always broken. But we have a giant tank at work, so if I really need it, I can fill up at work.
