<VV> tire pressure gauge

[K. Michael Kost]

That would be bad on my truck. If I run the listed pressures in the back all the 
time I would wear out my tires quickly. If I am not carrying a large load the 80 
PSI listed causes the tire to run on the center 3" of the tire. I set my empty 
pressure with a ruler so that the radius from the ground to center (or common 
point on wheel) is the same front and back then I use the same pressure side to 
side. That works out to about 55 PSI front (listed pressure) and rear when 
"empty". This is much easier on the 4wd system when engaged. It would be nice if 
the TPMS system reported real pressures back to the central computer for display 
and you had the ability to set the limits and range allowed on each tire or at 
least each end.

Wait long enough and they may figure out a way to keep the tires automatically 
inflated.
