Installed a tire pressure monitor system but.....

No matter how much I try I can't fill them to 100% ? Think it's because the temperature is low?



Happy Saturday people !

You probably dont have enough weight in the vehicle. Load up some sandbags and it should squish the tires to 100%

Your pressure monitor is measuring psi, not percent and why are you trying to put so much pressure in your tires anyway? I normally only run mine at 45 psi and an unloaded M998 usually only runs 25 psi per tire.

Twice the PSI = twice the MPG

You can accomplish the same thing with a 10% overpressure and not risk a high speed blowout that could cost you your life.

That's way less funny though...you know this whole thread is a joke right?

Just figured I'd play along.......

Simple easy fix as the flux capacitor has not been properly set up with the correct gremlin.

You need to remove all the air and fill it with pure nitrogen to make the tires safe. If you go along with that then you're in luck. I have this nice bridge for sale with a price so low it should be criminal. You could install a toll both and make a fortune.

What is cool around here is that costco has free nitogren air machines to top off your tires.

I prefer helium... sheds about 20 lbs of tire weight.. Its quite an elevating way to air UP

Have you priced Helium lately?? Sheds more than 20 pounds from the wallet LOL

Over inflated idea... air we breath is 78 % nitrogen and dealers charge extra for what?

Leaks can be expensive, CAMO

don't the smaller molecules also leak out faster through the pores in the rubber?
I was told the nitrogen molecules are larger (about 3%)


Looking at it another way though, if nitrogen molecules are the ones that leak out slowest, all you have to do is wait for the tire to lose a little pressure and top it off. Every time you do so the ratio of nitrogen to oxygen and other gasses will keep increasing until you have almost entirely nitrogen...
