The biggest issue I dealt with was the rear wheel simulators. I had to contact the factory to determine whether or not they were screwed on. They weren't, they're hub caps. Removing the rear wheel simulators provided improved access to the valves. I visited a "Pilot" store and purchased a truck type straight on dual foot tire pressure gauge and air chuck. Maximum air pressure on my tires is 80 lbs, so I purchased a 110 lbs air compressor at "Wally World". Now that I've obtained the correct tools and have become familiar with the valve locations, checking the rear tire pressures is fairly straightforward. I haven't decided whether to pull the the wheel covers monthly or just leave them off.
I inquired about valve extensions with my dealer and they declined to install any due to liability issues. At some point in the future I'll probably visit a truck tire dealer to get the metal valve extensions installed.
