So, I use to be able to find the OEM 20" tires out on tire websites but I no longer can find them anywhere..... Anyone else seen this? They are still on the Goodyear website but no where like Tire Rack or Discount Tire.

Has anyone checked their pressures?
My vehicle came from my dealer with the "Fancy" Nitrogen filled tires. Never had that before....
Needless to say, my front tires had been wearing funny on the shoulder (say this because my passenger was replaced due to a bolt puncture and has been wearing much better). This morning I finally decided I would check the pressures just to make sure things were square, but I figured they would be square because of the "Nitrogen is more stable and constant" theory.
In checking my tires this morning, every tire outside of my new one that has been on for the last ~8k miles, they were all 6-8 lbs below the door jam suggested cold tire pressure. Note, I checked them after driving 10 miles home.....
Outcome being, I'm not thrilled by the nitrogen theory, my dealerships ability to fill tires or the TPMS because if they have truly dropped that much since purchasing the car 6 months ago, they are terrible, but.... I know they should be working since I had a puncture and it worked then....

I've checked mine 3 times before I purchased new wheels, they were over inflated from the dealer, once I put them to where I wanted them they stayed. I haven't checked since I've gotten my new wheels but it's been at the dealer for a week, maybe when I get it back I will.
