Wife's Expedition picked today to light up the low pressure light.
Of course it's dark & 27° with a feels like of 17°.
Couldn't find my tire gauge & had to resort to the flimsy cheapo in my plug kit.

Why didn’t you use your Airmoto?
Probably quicker with the compressor. The airmoto isn't quick to inflate, and likely would've needed a charge to do all 4 tires.

YellowJacketMy truck said the fronts were 6 or 7 low but I didn't have a tire gauge with me. Put some air in at the house and took off and realized that the TPMS sensors did not get reprogrammed when the tires were rotated so now my rears are still low and the fronts are now super high. Had do it all over again and let out some air.

bubbatimeI highly recommend the little battery powered inflators from Milwaukee, Ryobi, Dewalt (your battery of choice)
I check my tires weekly and it only takes a couple minutes to inflate a few psi per tire (if that). One tire was down 8 pounds recently which alerted me to a nail.
Maintain your shit.
