Granny's gone and done it again

still better to be safe then have a flat or blow out when your driving , Also properly inflated tires last longer and you get better performance and gas mileage.

tires are 11 yrs old. I am afraid if I add air they will pop but I will look for the gage .
 
The Royal Sunny likes head scratches until she doesn't and then trys to "smack" your hand with her horns.
Sounds like she is a reincarnated cat.

going to vote in the am and run a few errands. AFTER I check out the tires as the idiot light came on last Sat.
DD1's car did that a few months ago but the light wasn't necessary, the tire went near flat just after she left the driveway. Taught her how to put on the mini spare, had to make her a cheater bar for the car's lug nut wrench. Took it to my local mechanic because I didn't see anything in the tire. He found a REALLLLLLY pointy rock in it when he soaped it up. Plugged and good to go.

DD1's tire pressure light went on again a couple of weeks ago. I checked the tires, all were a couple PSI down except the RR, it was down to 27. Aired it up. Light came back on a few days ago. Aired it up then put on her snow tires yesterday. Didn't remember which tire Bill had plugged so I looked at the tire to see if the plug was there. The tire is now in the back of my car to go to Bill on Wednesday with a nice screw head sticking out of it. That girl needs to stop running over pointy things!

well I can see the tires look fine. I tried putting some electrical tape over the light but it wouldnt stick.
Looks can be deceiving.

I kicked it. Good enough ! LOL How do you turn it off ?
By doing what others said - put air in the tire!! Kicking won't tell you anything. And if it goes down again it either has something stuck in it or a bad bead seal. Found that latter one on a snow tire I was going to put on DW's car last week. Bill took the tire off the rim and reseated it. It went on her car yesterday.

Of course now that it is snow tire season, there is no way to turn the light off on our cars. The dang sensors are over $100 PER TIRE so none of the cars have them in the snow tires. Even the tires don't cost as much as the sensors. OK, there IS a way to turn the light off: put all 4 summer tires inside the car for the winter. Nope, not doing that.
