So make sure they do it right, as it is preset to warn at a 10% psi drop.
(Set for 36 psi rear and will alarm @ -10% (3.6psi drop=32.4 PSI).
While done with the tire @ 33 PSI and .6 PSI later:
Warning light.
Is this the way it works? Or am I full of crap?
Max.......you are correct (and not full of crap
), but I believe it is a 25% PSI loss (approx. 8lbs.) and this can be a combination of tires, example 1 tire has a 4lb. loss and another with a 4lb. loss will trigger the TPMS.......as told to me by my trusted Xfire Tech.
