Now a better method is constant monitoring with TPMS.<br /><br />I am glad you were in the top 5% that could "thump" tires and get the inflation pressure correct to within 10 psi but when controlled tests are run most people can't detect a 20 psi loss.Tireman9https://www.blogger.com/profile/09813984937064446653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197373783392349499.post-16542307928443259762015-09-02T10:31:32.408-07:002015-09-02T10:31:32.408-07:00Yes metal valve stems would be my preference.

While there are some with higher rating they still may not tolerate the added weight of a TOM sensor.Tireman9https://www.blogger.com/profile/09813984937064446653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197373783392349499.post-76953471471294586222015-08-29T08:33:49.189-07:002015-08-29T08:33:49.189-07:00On topic for tires, but not necessarily CIP, did I...On topic for tires, but not necessarily CIP, did I read somewhere that metal, instead of rubber, valve stems should be used beyond a certain tire pressure? My 5th wheel tires are 85 CIP but have rubber stems.

As a retired OTR trucker, I DO do a tire 'thump' check every time we stop for a break, and of course before setting out in the morning. You CAN detect slight changes in the sound of your tires, which indicates differences in pressure. MrTommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08296096084733046456noreply@blogger.com
