How often are you supposed to check the tire pressure on your car?

Especially so in cold weather states as they tend to lose a bit.

Those miniature aluminum bats from Peterbilt for checking tires are the shnitz...

If Ram had two of them, he could go "bats akimbo".

Don't forget to change the air with every oil change too. 🤥

That whole nitrogen thing is a scam, Jack. Think about it... the air we breathe is already 78% nitrogen, so how much are you really adding? Consumer reports did a study and found - over one year - the tire with air lost 1.1 psi of pressure more than the tire with nitrogen. Negligible over a 1 year period and if you check your tire pressure once a month... not worth the $5 per tire or whatever they charge for nitrogen.

Me? I never check it. I have TPMS... so the car tells me when the tire needs air. LOL! :-"

Macs,

I had my car filled up with Nitrogen a couple of years ago (I did not pay for it). I gotta say when the winter came i didn't have to adjust the preasure at all. Pretty cool. Now would I pay for it to save adding air NOPE... But it does work.

Now you live in California, and I now live in Florida so it really doesnt have the same benefit. But if your in a climate with big tempature swings it may be worth the $20 not to have to deal with it.

Yeah my TPMS went off so I gotta check on my tires after work. I hate warning lights cuz' I always thing it'll end up being something worse than it is. So I should check more often.

For $20 each re-inflation, it can be about whatever you want it to be!
