I cleaned my machine and checked the tires today. Each tire was 4 pounds low. The day time temperature is about 40 degrees cooler than when I checked last time so I hope that is what is making the difference.

I also checked the donut for the first time ever. It was twenty pounds light. Sure glad I checked it. BTW, in the wish list we need a spare tire that can be checked and aired wo having to first remove the jack paraphenalia and then the wheel to do the job.

JDN:
What pressures, front and back, are you running? Any reason they are higher or lower than recommended? Or are you running the straight pressue stated on the door jam? Thanks

Juan, I added to 33 front and 36 rear today which is 1 pound over the door jamb pressure for a light load. I added the extra pound because the average temperature is still dropping. I normally stick pretty close to the door jamb recommendations. I believe that the people that make the car know better than I do what the right pressure should be. I put in the 60# that is embossed on the donut for it.
