[QUOTE="LAF, post: 950883, member: 20868"] This is exactly why I am so anal. When I hit the rock and blew the rim the TPM was SCREAMING and blinking RED at the instant of impact! I knew I was forked and headed to the shoulder, if that is what it was, very little room off the line and guard rail. Also picking something up when you only got two tires is pretty high on my list of knowing. If you can know soon enough you may be able to plug it and ride, if not you spin it along until failure or your next air check. And when going camping for three or four weeks it is nice to see what affect your load has on PSI rise. Around 10% is the rule I have read. I run higher than that but know it is not way over. And if you do not believe a "few" PSI makes a difference then that is you. I wonder how your tires last for you, and what they handle like at end of life. Nothing will flat out a rear tire, or cup a front, then low PSI. Not a jab or poke at anyone to each their own, but tires are damn expensive these days. [/QUOTE]
