 I guess the main thing...keep tires pressured rightly.  A couple PSI or Bar here or there don't matter much.  With all the tire configurations, who for sure knows what they should be at.  And furthermore, Heck, they can easily deflate that much in one month sitting in a temperature steady garage.  Leakage is normal.  Just check them every now and then.  No need to go rocket science like I did.  About the 14.7 vs. 14.1 issue.  Sorry.  Just check your tires every couple 3 months or so.  And monitor the build date on them.  Seven or eight years.....time to think about new tires.  You will love the reliability in your decision.

 I wondered how long it would take for this thread to degrade! 

But I now am able to ask Alexa for conversions and I’m figuring it out pretty easily.  At this point even if it gets stuck on bars I’ll have a pretty good idea if I’m close to the desired PSI. 

Thanks folks.
