    "For my tires I am checking to make sure that there are no abrasions, bulges, or cuts and that they are filled to the manufacturer's specifications"

    Even in this little thread there is no clear meaning for manufacturer's specifications

    You're not looking hard enough. I've posted numerous links to manufactures recommendations.

    Oh I know where the information is for any specification on anything engineered but that is just not the point. There are three key elements to this topic

    1)is the driver aware and capable of ensuring that ALL of the vehicle's original equipment is within manufacturer's specifications
    2)is the company of the driver or the driver owner-operator willing to keep the vehicle's original equipment within manufacturer's specifications
    3)does DOT adhere to the vehicle's specifications as opposed to making up there on guidelines

    This is me just saying that I don't believe that there is any such "perfectly inflated tires for ALL conditions" and especially the driver not adjusting for different regions/weather, etc.

    This poor horse has had a hard time lately, I wonder why?
    Maybe our resident genius' can figure that one out, if someone wrote a manual for it that is....
    May have to click for the full effect.
