Tire pressure monitor

My advice: Fill the tire with an air chuck that has a gauge at the beginning of the season, while the glider is standing on it. When you do that, look at how much it bulges at the bottom. As long as the tire looks about like it did when you filled it, it probably is about right. --Bob K. This is what most probably would do (me included). However, it's impossible to see if you have pressure little bit on low side. Flight manual tire pressure is not maximum number, it is THE recommended pressure. Tube chafes with tire if pressure is short of this. Enough pressure and you really do not suffer from flat tires, at least that is my experience.
