06 C2S Tire/air Pressure
#16
I'm with you. It's that pesky PV=nRT thing. This guy has a pretty good explanation and some data to show N2 is BS.

I have no humidity issues where I live but I use a dryer filter in the output of my air compressor to absorb moisture when checking tire pressures. And I change the dryer periodically as the desiccant saturates.

Again, more to think about; thank you!
I switched over from the Pirelli snows 285/35 R19's to the new Michelin Pilot SS's the fellow gave me: 305/30 ZR19's and woe, what a difference! I'm not sure I can go with: I'm liking it, the ride is a little harsh. I'll drop the air pressure to 36 lbs, although I don't think it will make a big difference.
I've been meaning to ask: can anyone recommend an accurate tire/air pressure gauge?
thanks,
John

Also the correct (low load) tire pressure is 33/37PSI F/R, not 36PSI.
