Free ride mods - results after a long trip.
For those that care, I was struggling a bit with ride and road feedback on my ACE – F53 Chassis. It drove OK on smooth pavement off the lot - for the first 6 mos, but any sort of harsh road like conc...

TPMS is probably a really good way to compensate for the lack of 4 corner weight. As long as the tire pressure rises the same on either side (assuming a cloudy day), then your side to side weight is pretty close. You should probably make a note of the weather conditions and the tire pressures, that way you have a point of reference to work with. You stated you are headed to FL, so the tire pressure will rise. Also keep in mind that your tire pressure will rise with speed. You may hit places where you find yourself driving faster as a result of higher speed limits and light traffic.
All good points Dave and things I did in fact notice as a TPMS newby. They all seemed to rise in PSI and temp fairly consistently across all 6 tires so my assumption is that it's pretty equally weighted. I was surpised to see them rise as much as 15 PSI but never into the danger level. Mostly about 10 PSI rise unless the ambient temp or our speed increased. Temps stayed right about 5-10 deg above ambient so I figured that was normal and way under what TST or GY considers anywhere near a threat. The TPMS was a good thing to ad to the mix to confirm the changes. Your comments are spot on.
