I've always found the deterioration of handling (and perhaps strange noises) to be good indicators of low tire pressure. Low tech, but it's a good idea to be familiar with the normal "feel" of your ride. :jester:ILVMYGT said:Does the SKY have the low tire indicator technology?
how about just manually checking the air pressures a couple times a month...and a visual inspection every day, that has always worked for me...ggccg said:I've always found the deterioration of handling (and perhaps strange noises) to be good indicators of low tire pressure.

This is true about run-flat tires... because:SkyMan 07 said:I think it is being Phased in over a couple years, Starting january 2007...
Right now ALL cars with run flat tires have to have some kind of pressure sensor, even if you put them on as an aftermarket thing...
I just found these online if you worry about your tire pressures, this makes it easy to spot a low tire...

doesn't really work. You have to be VERY flat, as much as 50% or less of placard pressure before you MIGHT feel a run-flat running... well, ah... flat. IOW, you have to be VERY flat for a run-flat to affect handling to the point where you begin to notice it.ggccg said:I've always found the deterioration of handling (and perhaps strange noises) to be good indicators of low tire pressure.

Where did run-flat tires come into this? Are you saying that the Sky comes with run-flats?KappaMan said:You have to be VERY flat, as much as 50% or less of placard pressure before you MIGHT feel a run-flat running... well, ah... flat.

no the question was about low pressure sensors on the Sky and I stated that cars with runflats have to have them. The Sky does not come with run flats, If you are going to install run flats on your car you will need some kind of pressure sensor...ggccg said:Where did run-flat tires come into this?

Exactly my point. When you know what your car is supposed to feel like, you know when the tire pressure isn't right. Two or three pounds can make a significant difference in handling as SolSky_Designs attests to.SolSky_Designs said:When I checked the pressure one front tire was 32 and the other 35, and the rear was both 32. I changed them to 29psi all around, it was like day and night.
SolSky_Designs... let's not go starting rumors...SolSky_Designs said:... SolsticeMan on the other forum (also is said to be Mr. Bob Lutz and more than likely KappaMan on this forum is one and the same) ....
It does not have it in glove box. There is a sticker on the drivers side door when you open it up. And also has a sticker of the factory where the car is made. Mine came from wilmington. Also it has max occupant and cargo load of 353 lbs. on the sticker also.Skip said:In the owners manual is the tire pressure stats, also if I remember right it is in the glove box too. Buy a guage from Wal-Mart. Check at least once a week. Tires go down with cold weather and up with warm weather. The most impotant thing is tire pressure and missing as many potholes as you can.![]()

Yes, S-man and K-man are the same.
NO, I am NOT Bob Lutz.
Let me repeat:
I... AM.... NOT ... BOB.... LUTZ..... :lol: :thumbs:
I don't want to have to add a link to my signature here, too... :willy:
I can tell you this: I have met Bob Lutz. Actually shook his hand and talked to him and exchanged sentences and everything. Even inhaled his 2nd hand cigar smoke... (ok, that's prolly too much information...).
So, imagine my surprise when I hear that he declared himself NOT to be me at the Solstice First-Delivery-Party at the Renaissance Center in Detroit on August 5.
And, ah, NO, Bob does NOT know the true identity of s-man/k-man.
I'd like to keep it that way for now. :cheers:
Maybe someday, way in the future, but definitely not now...
PS; this is not really revealing information, Bob meets hundreds of people every day. It's like saying "I was introduced to Arnold Swarzenegger once... ".
