When I checked today, it was holding at 50#.
Don't bet on it holding.
After sitting from June until January, 3 of 4 tires on my TT were at about 44, the 4th was at 37. I aired them all to 50 before departing on a 3,000 mile round trip to south Florida. I checked each time we moved to a new location and aired up as needed. The one that started out lower was usually several pounds lower than the others. After about 2,000 miles I was in a convenient location to a tire shop and had it checked. A 6 penny nail was the culprit.
Thanks to others about the lug-nut torque warning. I've been guilty of ignoring this.
