Cold vs. hot tire pressure
Now having dashboard readout of individual tire pressure has made me aware of quite a difference between cold and hot. Carrying a heavy camper, I have Nitto Dura Grapplers 285/75-17 and run 70 psi ...

Alright all you critics ;)
ALL I was posting was that now that I did the mod on my truck to show tire pressure on the dash (truck did not come that way), I was made aware of the psi increase in the tires.
Before this I would increase tire pressure once the camper was loaded then not check it for the rest of the trip. Does anyone here check their pressure on a 3-4 day trip? I didn't.
Sheesh! :B
Yes I do every morning before I head out. It is nice to know what is happening with the tires during the trip, a slow leak can cause a blow out if you haven't checked the pressure before you take off.
