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 ...

I don't check every morning. I get in and start up the truck and wait for the tire pressure monitor to tell me what pressure my tires are at. If I have a low tire then fill it up and see if I can find a problem with it.
That is the reason I have a TPMS is so I can know what my pressure is even when I'm running down the road. Just press the button and rotate through all of the tires once in a while and I can keep an eye on all of them without pulling out a tire guage and try to run along side the truck trying to get it on the valve stem so I can see the pressure in each tire as I'm moving. :B I know smart a**.
That is the reason I buy these toys is to be able to check on things going down the road. I always run the TPMS on my trailers to keep and eye on them and actually my new truck has the stock TPM on it but I don't like it near as much as my Doran system. It just tells me I have a low tire but not which one nor does it tell me how low it is. They are a very cheap setup. For a few bucks more they could of put in the same system that I run form an outside vendor.
