[QUOTE="LAF, post: 951745, member: 20868"] After using a TPM for 6 years or so I do not find this true at all. Once my tires hit 47 front 49 rear I have never seen them go higher unless I am hauling the mail, and then it may only go another pound but nothing drastic. I do agree under inflation will cause a blowout due to the issues you mentioned. I start at 42 rear and get to 49 so that is close to 10% rise and I know if it out of those ranges I got a problem. 10% is just a base rise PSI to look for anything a couple of % either way would not be a concern. However I know over several bikes using TPM it is a very repeatable and consistent rise on every bike and PSI I have run on them. The real question not answered is why will a under inflated tire will rise PSI to match a correctly inflated tire? Be it 2 wheels or 4 as Fred shared in his 4 wheel experience. [/QUOTE]
