time to air up your tyres

Thanks for the reminder. One really should check one's tires at least once a month.

 

...or every fill up like some of us.

 

We rotate to studded winter tires for winter.

 

43PSI all around here, though I check the summer tires on my MINI Cooper S more often for weekend twisties (and lower PSI haha).

 

Why??? I have TPMS

 

Thanks, David. Don't forget to send a personal reminder to Roger Goodell, the commissioner of the NFL

 

Another good time to check your pressures: when you've been to the *%$! dealership.

 

Had the CRV in for service Saturday and the TPMS light came on Monday. Tires were at 23psi, door calls for 30 in all 4. Pumped to 35 and holding....one of my pet peeves is deflating the tires in for service when it's been driven for 15 minutes giving a false reading...Prius was at 32 and 28 now at 38/36.

 

Because TPMS isn't accurate enough to give you optimal tire pressure*. It only goes off when you are critically low.

* unless you overfill, set your TPMS, and then deflate to proper pressure.

 

Ahh, helium makes that once every three months

 

With helium, you'd better check weekly. Or even daily. Ever notice how fast rubber balloons with helium go flat and sink?

 

Thanks David!

Aired up my wife's car and mine yesterday.

 

Don't forget to check the spare too. You will want those 60psi when you need them.

 

Or you'll be sitting there with a bike pump adding 10psi on the side of the road.....yes I carry a bike pump in the under floor storage....why, I don't know but it paid off
