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...

While getting ready to leave the driveway this week,my walk around indicated visually that the right rear dally might be a tad low. Bouncing a hammer on the tires indicated that the right rear inner tires was very low. Good tires go tink, bad tire went thunk. Bad tire was 10 psi and was aired up to take to tire shop four miles away on a Saturday. Rv was checked during an oil change the week before and nail puncture occurred on way home. This summer we made the 11000 mile trip to Alaska and back with no tire trouble.
A walk around every morning is a task I find value in.
