Are Our Tires REALLY that sensitive?
I know I will roust the ire of many a tire aficionado, as well as those who will claim expert knowledge from years of traveling and RV'ing and quasi-engineering or actual engineering status/certificat...

I don't believe one or two pounds makes any difference. But, some people don't do anything with their tires and that's a problem. Failing to start the day with properly adjusted tire pressure is taking an unnecessary risk. Running on old tires, especially STs used on most trailers, is taking as risk. In both instances where I had a blowout, it was on a Class A with a six year old tire, and a FW with a four year old tire, thus supporting the anecdotal evidence that Class A tires will last six years and ST tires will last three years. That doesn't mean someone else won't get ten or more years out of a set of tires, but it's the point at which I'll be thinking about new tires.
