I have never heard of an enforcement type officer checking tires with a pressure gauge.

I have, well actually peace officer. But more often just looking at them one tire looks too bulged to them and that’s it, had out of service a few times just from that without even verifying the pressure. Which is why I won’t waste time chancing it.

Well this is the internet. It must be true

But Cyle said so!

Don't phase me one bit, assume it's BS and one day you may end up with a ticket and a big tire shop bill. There is plenty of retarded peace officers happy to do so.

But for the record, anyone who operates a commercial vehicle has to be smart enough to know what the laws say about it......

Did my long weekend tow with the rubber at the recommended pressure. Made a point to stop an extra time to check them and my straps. I was expecting them to be a bit hotter than normal, but nothing out of the ordinary. The ride was a bit softer. I guess 15lbs of pressure takes up a few of the bumps! This wasn't a heavy load trip, only a couple days. I will be adding a few more lbs as others have suggested for the big trip up north for our week long hunt.
