Unless a tire is punctured, it only loses air slowly over time, but not enough you'd really notice looking at them, but still enough that it's bad for tire wear. It's a nice reminder to me I need to add air to the tires.
The car's dashboard display also shows the tire pressures, but:
a) My wife, for whatever reason, seems blind to anything the car shows her on the dashboard. :-(
b) She'd have to put the dashboard to the screen which shows tire pressure. The TPMS doesn't alert till pressure is quite low. They are supposed to be 36 PSI. The TPMS won't alert till they are below 25 PSI or some such.
- shortstuffsushi 4y agoI have also had your experience, but my resolution was just to swap cars for a day every couple weeks. The threshold on her car was higher though, I believe 29 (same ~35-36 normal range), so if they dropped she'd at least be alerted sooner if I didn't see it.
