Tyre pressure question
 

Just wondering if it is normal for you guys to do your tyres very regularly, say once a week, as mine have all dropped a min of 4 psi max 7 psi in a week.
I don't drive like an idiot, and the front 2 tyres have been done recently (not by me) and the rear ones are still ok for a couple of thousand.
My old turbo I did once/twice a month after I got all 4 replaced but it didn't drop as much as these!
Thanks :thumb:

I tend to check mine about ever 30 seconds...A bit OCD but each to thier own is say.

Like the idea of that,

How much was it and where from???

as you say may be a bit OTT, but i like data :thumb:

Shop around though, cause you can buy them for less..

Air temperature changes affect tyre pressure (P=VT).

I ran mt track car at Blyton 3 weeks ago lowered pressure to 20psi on a dry hot track came in after 6 laps and tyre pressure was up to 32psi !

I check mine every month or so, or just before a long trip. I would be concerned if they dropped 4psi over a month, so I would get them checked if they are dropping that much over a week tbh. Could be a faulty valve or something simple like that, could be worth getting them re-seated, new valves and re-balanced etc.

had leaky valves before (at the wheel end , not the thread) Seen it when washing car one day. Just got them redone and it was fine.

Cheers guys will speak to a mate who is a tyre fitter see what he says :)

I can't afford a weekly check they are charging 50p near me!

Sainsburys near me is free tfft :)

I'm liking that pressure monitor. They seem to be wifi but what actually goes into tyre? Is it a valve replacement? What does it look like at the tyre?

+1

The little black box you see on the pic is under the tyre, 'inside' the wheel if you like, and then the valve just sticks out to the outside like normal.

Scott.

I've heard that using nitrogen instead of normal air works better as pressure is more stable when temp varies. I think the last time i got tyres kwik fart was offering nitrogen fill instead for about £1 extra per wheel, which wasn't bad. I didn't notice the difference really as I don't track the car but you might bud

Cheers, I'm for a set of these. :)

They charge for air where I live, but I put nitrogen in and they "top-up" that for free:freak3:....
