I woke up this only to find this.
35psi just isn’t going to cut it.
Update:
I was able to borrow an air hose from the mechanics at my customer this morning. I managed to get 92psi in the tire. I decided since I couldn’t see anything sticking in the tire I’d see if I could have the guys at a tire shop take a look. Unfortunately, they were not open so I kept on heading back to the company shop. Ninety miles into the trip I stopped in at a truck stop just to check the pressure again. It had dropped to 85psi. After bringing it back up to 100psi I continued making my way to the shop where I knew the boss was waiting. The boss had a brand new piece of rubber waiting for me as well as all the required tools laid out. I was impressed with the boss. He was able to swap out tires on my rim in 21 minutes total. When I inspected the old tire I found no indication of a puncture. Oh well, it had to go as I can’t be driving on a tire that won’t hold air. It’s too bad I won’t get to see if I could run this set of steer tires to 200,000 miles. This was looking like a possibility as they were wearing evenly and there was excellent tread depth yet. 112,000 miles and I get a new tire when I’m typically able to see 150-160,000 miles on my steer tires.
