Q: fmb wrote i checked my tire pressure on my trip to ny and noticed its rather hard to check your rear tire pressure and fill it with the current lay out of the air valves. i havent found anything specifically for these yet. except for rubber valve extenders--yuck! anyone know of a better set up i adjust my pressure pretty regularly as to whether im towing my 5rh wheeler or not. -- moparman---remove clothes to reply! --scud coordinates 32.61204 north 96.92993 west-- ive found a little trick i use when hauling my 5th around to check for a low tire. i use an infrared thermometer. just point and click. it tells you the temperature of the sidewall if that is what you are pointing at and of course that doesnt tell you what the pressure is but when you take the temp of all the tires it tells a story. a low tire will generate more heat than one that is pressured up to where it should be. when traveling with the 5th you should be checking your pressure every 200 miles or so. what a pita if you have to get down and fiddle with the pressure guage cap etc... i use the model shown here http//www.radioshack.com/product.aspcatalog%5fname=ctlg&category%5fname=ctlg%5f010%5f005%5f001%5f000&product%5fid=22%2d325 or http//tinyurl.com/nznz for short. it is radio shack catalog # 22-325 and is on sale for $30 down from $50. works fine for me ymmv. i picked up at my john deere dealer a infrared therometer with laser to check bearing temps on my combine. this should also work on tires wouldnt it handy to take this to a niteclub and find hot women dale .
