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...

My dad, professional trucker, 35 years, 4 million miles, no accidents, taught me how to check a rig.
Starting at the drivers door and waking all the way around the rig. He taught me what to check in each area, including thumping all the tires.
I do it the exact same way at every rest stop.
If was good enough for him, it is good enough for me.
