You think the car feels like a lead slug and coasts like a Shuttle's drag 'chute with the tyres at the manufacturer-specified pressure.

The fuel station's compressor you use to re-inflate the tyres kicks in 4 times - once for each tyre
That sounds like my version of hell. Oh here are the forms you need to fill out to get your shoes checked by the inspector, we can't have you walking on public sidewalk with soles that may be worn out of spec.
