[QUOTE="peanut, post: 312494, member: 7578"] Tire pressure ... since I just did the autopsy on my damaged front tire, I discovered two things: 1. It is possible to have damage without any apparent direct hit into the pothole. In my case, it is the outside edge (the corner where the side wall and base) hit against uneven surface and there was an internal crack and caused the bulge. There was no external damage and no tire pressure drop at all. Luckily, I was at my friend's Raya open house and we just hanged around the car and someone spotted it. Otherwise, it could be very dangerous later on! Moral of the story: do check your tires regularly. 2. I also noticed that my RFTs show sign of under inflation as there were minor internal edge wear on my front tires. This seems to indicate wear due to under inflation of tire. This is interesting as I put 34psi and 37psi front and back respectively and I thought there were on the high side. [/QUOTE]
