Low tire pressure

BuffSlut916 · 09-15-2017, 11:05 PM

Whats goin on,

I got a low tire pressure reading on my left front tire. Can I wait until next weekend to remediate this?

If you're not driving on it why not, it'll be fine. If you're driving it, why aren't you filling air? Takes a minute at any gas station.

jiggz · 09-15-2017, 11:43 PM

Next weekend...depends on how fast it's losing air.

Why wait until next weekend, go put some air in it!

shimmy23 · 09-15-2017, 11:45 PM

not sure OP is a troll

msan · 09-15-2017, 11:46 PM

I would inspect it for a nail or metal stuck in it, check air pressure level and add air at a gas station.

There is probably a reason (aka leak) why the air is low only in that one tire.

The questions on the board gets more intricate by the day. Never stops to surprise!

its starting to get cooler and we are going to start to see more of these TPMS threads. look at your tire with your eyeballs and buy a pressure gauge... the old fashioned way.

Too funny Helmsman.
OP was a bit over his head when purchasing this car, from key fobs to missing vert trim pieces, burnouts causing brake pad lights to go on, dented side skirts, running on 87 octane (I can hear the marbles in that coffee can as I'm typing this) grinding noises and my favorite "getting a lil sick of the M3" at low speeds. I feel like I'm Trolling him now in knowing all of this, but hey we all need a little excitement in our lives and Buffslut certainly gives me the ultimate online thrill. I don't even remember what OP's issue for this thread was, I guess I could go back and look but it probably wouldn't matter as I wouldn't be any help to him.

Edit: Oh yea, tyre pressure. Yep, I was right, I wouldn't be of any help OP as I have pulled the fuses on my tyre warning lights as they are just a nuisance.

Before talking BS ...First check *your* tire plug !

You can buy front and rear rotors with brake pads for under $1200

You're getting ripped off buffslut

virjose · 09-16-2017, 11:34 PM

Wow. I guess it is that difficult to check your air pressure at a local gas station and fill up as needed. At least more difficult than just posting about it

You can drive without tires if you want just be careful in the corners.
