Default I got screwed!!!!

From downtown chicago on I90W, tire pressure warning came on for my left rear tire. Add more air at the gas station and got home. Went out this morning and it's flat. Add more air, went over to Discount tire to check it out.
Result - Screw and my tire became one.
Fixed and got on the way.
Thanks TPMS for preventing me from potential larger problem.

Default Oh yeah!

I have a love / hate relationship with my TPMS :-)

I love being able to rely on it's accuracy, so far, every time that it has been relentless about telling me I have a problem... sure enough, foreign objects were found in my tire.

Here's a sig I was using for a few months when I had multiple flat tires in about a 4 week time period. <sigh>

Default Oh weird...I've been getting the warning on the SAME left rear location!

Seems like a slow leak, added air on Sat and the warning is back today and the reading is again close to 3 lbs. left than the right.

Guess TPMS is a useful tool!
