In a quandary
I put 4 new tires on the 2000 Montana 3280 and weighed at a CAT scale. The weight was 10750. Not bad. I started back home, pulled into a Walmart for the night. I did a test of the torque for all wheels and was good. I then tested the pressure. All tires were in range of 79-81 psi. It was warm out ... about 68 degrees. Got up next morning with the temp outside of about 26 degrees. These are new tires so I wanted to make sure all was good ... like a valve leak. GADS .. psi ranged from 65-68. Now what do I do. Air in my pickup was about 62 psi when I keep 70 psi normally. Soooo ... with no air available, I decided to run at a low speed (45) for awhile. I watched the pressure on the pickup tires. The pressure started to go up ... very slowly. When the psi hit 66 psi I went to my normal speed of 60mph. Did I do the right thing? What would you have done? Thanks ... Dennis
