Lots of different places
I'm more interested in just lowering it a bit, the factory 36 or 38psi on my load range E KO2's is about like running wagon wheels. TPMS on Gen1 is all or nothing, it's OMFG DANGER WILL ROBINSON you're below threshold or no light at all, if I could set it to 20 or even just 30 the system would let me know if there was an actual flat (as intended) and not needlessly notify me when I air down a little...

So you can look at a Raptor tire and tell me that it is low by 10lbs? You test your tires EVERY TIME you get in your truck and verify your tires are 100% perfect before you drive. Let me guess, you run nitrogen fill and can tell when the tire is off .5lbs...... Keep fooling yourself. I had a screw in my tire, inside the tread and it was on the inner block on the rear tire on the drivers side. Started the truck and showed 20lbs instead of 38. I got out and it was almost impossible to even see that the tire was low. I am very conscious of tire pressures due to track time I have put on the M3 so it is not like I am some uneducated lazy person who knows nothing about cars...

How did you ever keep track of your tire pressures before TPMS were invented?


SMH...

An entire generation of Raptors made do without TPMS, spawning the ubiquitous meme:

Raptor-Man.
Like Florida Man, but for trucks.

TPMS? Real Raptor-men drive around aired down 24x7. How else can you get traction in the mulch they put down in the starbucks drive thru islands?
Because, after all, if you own a Raptor, and you are a REAL Raptor-Man, you aren’t concerned about fuel economy AMIRITE?
One and ONLY gas mileage thread please

i think he meant going out and physically checking tire pressure, rather than rely on a computer.

the government mandated TPMS warnings.. why do you suppose they did that?

i drive around at 10psi when im at the dunes, im not going to do a cross country road trip at 10psi... check your tires or pull into discount tire and theyll do it for you..
