TPMS is your friend in that it lessens the frequency of the need to have to check tire pressures.

Clifford's suggestion is great when one pressure is desired. From the recent discussion on tire pressure, it seems there are three different pressures required to properly inflate tires: steers, drives, and tag. Each carries a different weight so three different pressures.

Bus conversion people are about the only one's that follow those guidelines commercial people air a tire up to 10 to 15 lbs under max inflation and go,I can see a trucker changing their air pressures on 18 tires ,? do you weigh your automobile front and rear

ha! I.just mentioned what the chit-chat is about tire pressure. Only thing I am changing is lowering pressure all around to 85-90 and done. The TPMS is my friend while on the road. What I found interesting is the discussion did not get into how much the pressure changes while driving and which direction the sun is shining.

They are ugly on a bus but the Mexican buses have a self airing system that keeps the tires at a preset pressure ,the miliatry Humvee's use the same type system.You see a lot of truck and buses with the system to keep the duals with equal pressure the down fall of those if one tire goes flat both tires are flat in a few minutes.My TPM was a tied to the Silverleaf when it checked the pressure in the mornings if a tire was flat it won't let you engage the Allison to move that only happen to me 1 time lol only after 2 hours and reading the manual as last resort did I figure it out
