TPMS pop high alarm at 131 psi
I love my TPMS. It gives me all kinds of data. Years of playing with tire pressure and driving conditions I have learned a lot about tire pressure. Silly stuff like tire pressure is recommended at 70F. That you can adjust 1 psi per 5 degrees F. So starting out on this run it was 50f out, so I set my 110psi tires to 106 psi balanced on all tires. Then the run begins, 325 miles today, psi was running 125-128 most of the day, IMHO, perfect. Then 10 miles from my destination my left front pops a high pressure alarm, 131. 110-131 is a big increase. Why? I check the brake and hub temps, under 100f. Hmmmm!
Other tires were keeping in the 125-128 range. What's going on? I know these kinds of variances are fairly normal, but this divergence in PSI is a harbinger of trouble. I know better than to adjust tire pressure when the tires are still warm off the road so won't make any adjustments tonight. I will check them first thing in the morning to look for variances per tire. Why did the left front go High? Probably nothing, but I got my eye on it....Dallas

What did the tire pressure gauge you normally use show?
Not really sure I understand the concern, 110-131 is a big increase, but 110-128 isn't? Dude, that's 3 psi.Last edited by Hoopy Frood; 10-17-2021 at 08:55 PM.
