Good answers to tire pressure questions

[pgchin]

Good find David,
Yep I check pressures with a gauge EVERY time I roll, EVERY DAY, and adjust as necessary. I also use the IR gun to check for anomalies every 2-3 hours. While "hanging" around last week getting the bird new "sneakers", I had a chance to see about a dozen "road kill" take offs the crews brought in. You would be AMAZED how the INSIDE of the tire was alligatored and the rubber was separating from the belts, outside, the tire looked new!!!!!! My takeoffs were 8 years old and looked new both outside and inside........FWIW I also "cover them". The first set of 3 sets I did not cover and only got 4-5 years before they started cracking, the last set covered lasted 8........... I also roll the bus EVERY 2 weeks even when not in use........you know the drill about rolling tires, chemical release, blah, blah, blah..............
