I had problems with the stem cores loosening on my truck when oversanding on the beaches at Cape Cod several days in a row (the tires are deflated to 11 psi to drive on the beach and then filled back up to 36 psi when getting back on pavement). The cores frequently loosen on my ATV as well. The tires on an ATV run between 3.5 - 5 psi. I’ve never had a problem on cars, but I did need to replace one on a golf cart.

Terminology, ok, no problem. Understand now but still have not experienced that particular problem. Cheap and easy to check so why not?

Use nitro not, the bottom line check tire pressure periodically and you won’t have wear or pressure problems. IMO periodically once month. But I’m willing to bet majority don’t do it and majority riding around with improperly tire pressure.

FYI. Costco has this little gizmo for those that don’t own an air compressor. Very convenient, as once you screw it onto the tire stem, it tells you the tire pressure, and you simply put in the desired air pressure and it automatically stops once you get there. Pretty small, and can be kept in a car or golf cart. $50 online or $40 in the store.

Get a Yantu small air compressor from Amazon. They work great. I keep one in each car.

Also handy for bike tires and multiple versions available on Amazon.

Hurricanes change the barometric pressure in the area.

Seriously? BTW, check your spelling in the title.

That's your pull from this thread? So helpful...
