Tire Thumpers

We are talking about tire inflation here, not Lot LizZarDs. . .

 

I use an actual air gauge. Smacking your foot against it is a waste of time.

 

Ok now for realz; what u need is the latest and greatest p38000 windows9 or Mac OS13 tire pressure service lights for each and every tire!!! Green means full, red empty!! Only $19.99 each!!

 

Still kickin em.

 

Some of these responses are downright frightening.

 

I have one of those hose kits. I also bought an extension cord reel from Wal-Mart to roll it up with. Makes using it a breeze.

 

Can't post my dirty mind wandering as to how it was used...

Funny how so many say they guage the tires every day, yet I NEVER see it being done.
Heck, most drivers do no pre-trip at all.

I use a thumper whenever I hook, and every morning.
And I have caught tires that were at 90 PSI or lower so many times.
It's a sound and rebound thing.

My very first day with my first mentor, he had me thump the tires. He said that 2 were low and he wanted me to identify them.
I found three that were low.
And that was my first time using a thumper.

 

less than 80 PSI is considered a flat tire by the DOT. Look up the penalties for a flat when rolling through a scale...

Putting a guage on each tire before rolling is like (keeping) money in the bank!
