An inaccurate gauge will show the same pressure every time though. If from one day to the next it shows the tyre has lost 2 or 3 psi then it has, IMO.

As the spring time temperatures start to rise so will tyre pressures. It is getting to the point where I will be letting a little of that winter air out.

 

all my vehicles have their own gauge. But I still think splitting hairs at 2 pounds a day. Wait a few days and check again.

 

We are not discussing what you do or have though!

 

Are we not?

He came on a forum and asked question.

He did not send out PMs to select few asking what they would do.

And again, what's upsets about my advice?

 

A guy asks is it normal to be seeing a loss of 2 psi a day. The answer is that is not normal. It indicates a leak from somewhere. The guy is not seeing a variance of 2 psi up and down, the pressure is only going down.

The temperature needs to be taken into account but if the temperature is not dropping then neither should the tyre pressure.

 

don’t feed the troll…por favor

 

Sure, I'm done. The OP has a couple of good answers. Cheers.

 

I am not the only one to say, don't base it on daily readings of only 2 pounds.

If it went down 6 pounds over the 3 days he checked, yes that is not normal. But I am not basing my call on adding 2 pounds 3 days in a row.

You lose a little just checking and hard to get just 2 pounds in . And then accuracy.

Nothing I am saying here should be hair on fire.

Check it after a few days.

 

3x2=6.........

 

For what it's worth...

I put my bike away for the winter at the beginning of November with 36 Front 40 Rear in the tires. Just put it back on the road last weekend.. The tires were at 32 Front 39 Rear. Only lost a pound or so over 5 months.
