Went through my rig and did a 4 tire rotation in an X pattern. Hadn't checked my pressure in months, I normally run 10 psi for general cruising, During a recent ride into town I could tell right rear was low and yup it was, down to 5.5 psi, other tires 6 and 7. This 0-15 psi gauge is awesome to have, carry it in my glove box.

gotta replace that old winter air with new Springtime air!

I can notice right away if my tire pressure is low. I check everything before I ride. I run 16 psi for the desert.

Before every ride I get the gauge out and check them. These KM3's have yet to lose any pressure. First tires I've owned that really don't need to be checked.

Before every ride.M1 Evils don't lose air either.

It had been cold lately here and we have a ride Wednesday, so I promise to check pressure tomorrow. I am going to be backing is out of the car port tomorrow to adjust the seat and harness for a new wench that is riding Wednesday.

Beads are known to leak. I have Millwauki inflator so I try n use it.

RU saying Bead locs leak? If torqued correctly they should not leak.

The OP post was more of a public service announcement, that my tires only lost several PSI over several months.

I big swing in temperature can effect tire a few PSI!

 

[Angus]

SHouldnt but it happens more than other wheels imop. I had 1 tire back yonder leak down over month regardless what I did.? Stuff happens. Maybe it was stems...

 

[Rocky Heap]

Snoking enjoy your Southern living, it was 15F at my place a week ago. So yeah that's gotta be worth a PSI right there.

Porous casting of a wheel can cause leaks also. Spray bottle with soapy water and careful inspections can find most issues.

I check my tire psi before every ride

I must also add that elevation has a factor in your psi reading. Here where I live all tire pressure gauges measure ~2 psi MORE than what’s actually in the tire.

I am still on the factory Carnivores & beadlocks. Mine have leaked since the day it came off the showroom floor. I have torqued and re torqued the rings multiple times and it makes no difference. I typically run 10-12 psi and when it sits for 2 or 3 weeks in the garage, 3 of the 4 will go almost completely flat. I just aired them all up to 17 psi a couple days ago in anticipation of the incoming snow "storm". Maybe I'll get out & do a little road riding tomorrow....

I check mine before every ride. If I push on it with my foot and it bends in a little it's fine. lol I actually do check it and I keep it at about 8.5lbs.

that's not exactly right, but a good reminder to check your pressure when there is a big difference in temperature or altitude

I’ve tried it with different gauges. All seem to be the same. Name brand, snap on, blue point etc.

okay, I guess I don't really understand what you are trying to say. If all the gauges are accurate they should all read the same.

Elevation is a factor in tire pressure that affects the gauge.
