I have actually seen drivers let air out of tires at end of day after driving all day.
Mind blowing it does no good to try to explain to them when tires cool down they will be under inflated. Get the blank stare of I don’t comprehend. like explaining calculus to a 3rd grader
Why trailers almost always have auto inflate on tires, but trucks almost never do?

One of a shop guys install my steer tire at 110 when it was 60 degrees outside, in the end of a shift I ended up with 125 psi...on a front , way more then I should have. -

I prefer to keep my steer at 110 , or yeah in a morning it might will drop to 95-97 so what?
It's 1 hour of driving with underinflated tire vs 9 hours of driving with overinflated tire -

It takes somewhere in the neighborhood of 400 psi to blow a truck tire. Actually the rim will give out first.
Tires blow because they get weakened from too much heat from flexing caused by being under inflated.MadScientist, God prefers Diesels, not4hire and 3 others Thank this.
