Bunch of bull about lowering 80 PSI tires to only 40 PSI as both the tire manufacturers say "never" and TPMS's go crazy when "E" 80 PSI tires drop to 40 PSI and if you say "just turn it off and cut the wires etc" why even have the TPMS? Do you also disconnect your engine temp indicator or oil pressure indicator too? Dropping 80 PSI tires to 40 PSI is asking them to spin on the wheel or roll over breaking the bead seal due to not enough bead sealing pressure Get real! Also causes very fast outside edge tread wear and the sidewalls are pushing down while the tread center gives very little support and simply pushes away from the road, thus lowering effective traction/pressure on the road surface per sq inch of tire/road contact. How dumb! Sure it ca help when running on soft sand because the tire spreads out and the speeds are not highway speeds bu any stretch. Also, the heat build up from the extreme flexing that occurs and squirrely handling when normal driving on roads with having that soft of tire inflation drastically and quickly compromises the tires internal structure as can and often is so dangerous.
What a foolish and dangerous thing to tell someone new to RV'ing like Jane, Shame!!!
