Moderators Mike and Carol Posted January 19 Author Moderators Share Posted January 19 I’ve never had any odd temperature readings on any of the four tires on my TST TPMS. I’ll be checking wheel temperature now too…. 2 Texas Hill Country | 2016 Elite II #135 | 2020 Ram 2500 6.7L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Bill, given you checked most everything else. @Mike and Carol you have a new tire now, so all is good for many miles, long after you return home. Whatever you do, please do not take the bad advice given to raise your tire pressure! Always maintain tire pressure based on trailer and TV axle weights and tire manufacturer load tables. This is a matter of physics vs. opinion. 2 Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discount Tire put 75psi in the new tire, because that’s what their policy is. I just winked at the guy and corrected it when I got home. 2 Texas Hill Country | 2016 Elite II #135 | 2020 Ram 2500 6.7L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting: When I had my new Cooper's installed at Discount Tire, they asked me what psi I'd like to have. Local policy perhaps?

I just winked at the guy and corrected it when I got home. I had DT install metal valve stems on all wheels last summer on a return trip from West Texas, had two rubber stem failures (with mounted TPMS devices) likely due to extreme heat at the time (110°+). Upon leaving, I went directly to a nearby Walmart and deflated the tires to 55 psi. 58 minutes ago, topgun2 said: Interesting: When I had my new Cooper's installed at Discount Tire, they asked me what psi I'd like to have.

Moderators Mike and Carol Posted January 23 Author Moderators Share Posted January 23 When I had the Coopers installed a few years ago, at the same DT, they filled to my specifications. Probably an individual issue. 1 Texas Hill Country | 2016 Elite II #135 | 2020 Ram 2500 6.7L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
