I let them down...and checked them all the next morning. Wow! Too low! All of 'em. So I pumped 'em up ( all 4). This went on for days ... I got so tired of tire pressure. So , I did something... and it worked. Let me know if you're interested, and I'll tell you what I did.
I hope you are pulling our legs.... Changing the pressure everyday...

What worked for me is not worrying about my tire pressure anymore. 42 psi "cold" is about as hard as I want for my crappy roads. Some hot days it might go to 45psi! And I get home just like every other day. People should worry more about running their tires at to low a pressure, 15 psi under probably has killed many more people than 15 psi over.
