old school observation.... tire whacker
Observed this weekend...18 wheeler operator using a metal rod , strolled around his rig... whacked each tire. No TPMS, no digital tire pressure gauge. The man makes a living driving big rigs. Hm...

Ah, the memories. When I bought my DRW RV in 1991, I thumped the tires every morning. Also checked oil every morning. Now, I rely on the computer to tell me most of the time.
Thumping is also used for choosing melons and is part of telling when homemade bread is done baking.
