Fuel efficiency has definitely been my experience. I noticed a drop when I was a few PSI low. Always check before long trips!

That’s so true! It’s surprising how much a small difference in pressure can affect driving dynamics too.
I keep a small air pump in my car just in case. Better safe than sorry when it comes to tire pressure!
Is there an app for monitoring tire pressure? I feel like I’d forget if it’s left to memory alone.
It’s great that you’re proactive! Apps like TireMinder can help, but regular checks are still a must.

Exactly! And if you overinflate, you might as well be riding on marbles. Not comfy at all!
I think some people are too casual about tire pressure. It’s basic maintenance that pays off in the long run.
Don’t forget to check the tire pressure when the tires are cold! Heat builds up from driving, which can give you false readings.
Such an important point! Ride comfort, handling, and tire lifespan are all affected by pressure.
I’ve heard the recommended tire pressure for Toyo Open Country tires is usually around 35 PSI. However, it can vary depending on your vehicle and load. Always check the manufacturer’s guide!
That’s true! Also, in colder climates, you might need to increase the pressure slightly as the temperature drops.

Yes! Keep in mind that for every 10°F drop in temperature, tire pressure decreases about 1 PSI. So, it’s good to adjust accordingly, especially in winter!
When adjusting your Toyo tires, don’t forget to check when the tires are cold for the most accurate readings. This is crucial for safety!

Exactly! And as it gets warmer, you might need to let some air out to avoid over-inflation. How do you all keep track of these changes?

I usually just write it down in a little notebook I keep in the car. Helps me stay organized!
I use an app that reminds me to check my PSI monthly. Technology can be a real help!
That’s a smart idea! But also make sure you have a reliable pressure gauge instead of relying solely on digital tools. Just a thought!
Good point! I’ve had mixed experiences with apps showing incorrect numbers sometimes. Always trust your gauge!
It’s crucial to find what works for you. Tire maintenance can sometimes feel tedious, but it’s worth it for safety, right?
