It seems to me that the excess reserve capacity deals with the dangerous blowouts and such .
If I pick up a nail the tire just loses pressure . Then it is up to me to notice that the tire is going flat .
That gets us back to the basic point which is checking air pressure before towing each day .
I too have found that by feeling the temp of each tire when I gas up that I can tell if one is hotter than the other due to lower air pressure .
When that happens , out comes the high dollar , digital tire guage from radio shack !
Middle of the day, 30 miles from anywhere, and the screw or nail finally loses it's grip in the tire, all of the air comes out, tire is flat and shredding. Now what?
