Hitting tires with hammer? Wtf

If you run recaps on trailers or drives, you will hear the cap separating before you will see it. Have a sledge, bang tire a few spots, you will hear it

 

I bet the shop I could tell a difference of 5 or 10 psi. They tried both, I won the bet.

 

If you do it just right, that hammer bounces back and hits you right between the eyes, if all 18 tires bounced back with enough force you are dully ready for a 7 hour drive.

 

Some kick their tires with their safety boots, some use flip-flops. Different sound too.

Outch.

 

you need a truckers starter kit.(safety vest, black fingerless driving gloves, double ear bluetooth set, 65"gps on left side window, standard 3.5"gps on right side window,window mounting cell phone mount,4 window mounting cameras)

 

they go to loves and get them set at the psi when tire is hot. wake up and the tire is 65psi. call road service for a wiper blade.

 

Wow

 

what if you was a team driver. then the other driver would also hit it during a pretrip.

 

Kick them with my steel-towed red wing boots. +\- 5 psi accuracy.

 

I use a standard tire thumper. It's really a small bat.

No music it's flat. I remember one in particular that went flat and pretended it was not. The truck started pulling RPM's doing more work on the same load weight. I got suspicious and did a thump around. Bingo.
