OK im here to tell anyboy here.... I have worked for a tire company for going on 20 years.... I cant tell you how many people drive around with low tires some are flat and the idiots cant tell. Man I can tell in any of my vehicles old and new and belive me Ive got a few.... if the tires or tire is low its called pay attention jeash ....when I see some one in front of me on the road on the highway I try to let them know, I could count 5 a day driving to work and that just straight to work an back its crazy .... how many people just think ... its ok.... Tires are not designed to run half inflated the sidewall cant take the friction that why a tire has TREAD..... thats the part thats supposed to be on the road nothing else....... If your tire blows out its because you havent looked at them in awhile in my humble opinion ! Every tire except one that gave me trouble I expected it .... go flat or come apart if I decided to drive on it. I own a 69 mach1 mustang, 72 chevy truck ,86 mazda rx7, 2003 dodge ram, 73 dodge challenger, 70 nova. All vehicles drive different but tires do feel soft no matter what you drive if you pay attention like hmmm why is my car pulling to the right today when I brake or drive down the road ......GET OUT AND CHECK IT!

The first time my TPMS alarmed in my truck , I was still on the factory 33" tires and sure enough the tire was at a measured 25 psi ( The trigger is at 28 psi ) . The reason the tire pressure had fallen so fast ( The others were at 36 psi ) was because I had picked up a nail in that tire.

I was just about to get on the freeway for my 48 mile commute home after 14 hours of nightshift work....I probably wouldnt have noticed the low tire being so tired driving home until it was too late...that TPMS system helped bigtime.

Luckily I was able to keep the TPMS system when I changed rims and put on 35" tires.
