Default Tire tread wear vs inflation pressure

Be thankful that you have a hangar where you can do that work. For
those of us on a tie-down, it's even more of a pain.


Good quality bicycle tire pump makes short order of this "chore" and I am
in a tie-down area.

I have one in my cargo. It has a pressure gauge on it already so when I
attached the air hose to it, I have a readout.

I am surprised at the other responses. I have only replaced my tires every
other year and I have averaged 200+ hours per year with an average of 300
landings per set.

I check the PSI maybe once every other week. I may lose 3 or 4 pounds PSI
between checks.

I use the garden variety Air Hawk $64.00 tire, nothing fancy.
