    I have super singles. 3 of my drives are right around 105 psi and 1 of them is 98 psi. Is this a big deal? Does that 1 tire hurt my fuel economy? Thanks

    Why is this even a question. If you took the time to gauge all the tires. Spend another 3 minutes and air up the low tire.

    I think the Michelins can go to 130 for best fuel mileage but you will loose a lot of traction .If it's icy or snowing we drop ours to 90 or 95 if the load is light and winter driving conditions.

    Not sure if your joking or not? So will answer.
    1) At Lovers the first fuel pump has something called tire pass. Where they check and fill your tire pressure.
    2) Most T/A and Petro have a ait hose either on the pump or at the shop.
    3) Pilot and Flying j with a shop have air hose. Either at the pump or at the shop.
    4) Most buy not all mom and pops have same answe as 2 and 3.
    5) At truck stop, walmart, amazon, where ever you shop. Purchase an air line that hooks up to your trailer (red line) air supply. Then you can fill a tire anywhere you have access to a tractor. Best part is once you purchase one. You always have it.

    You have to call road service. This is a dangerous situation that must be taken care of immediately. They surely taught you this in that expensive school you went to.
    Sigh……

    Why are you guys razzing this guy? All these trucks have auto tire inflation. All he has to do have the shop recalibrate his switch in the truck.

    Op you should yell at your shop too. They should have taught you how to work the the tires switch in orientation.

    They no longer use that first fuel lane. Now you have to go to the shop for the Tire Pass service.
