NEW truck tire pressure verification tool

I'd like you guys and gals to check out a new product. We think it is the most sensible solution on the market today. It is brand new, has undergone years of development and we think it is now ready for prime time. It works. It does what it is supposed to do. It is a common sense approach to tire maintenance It will save you time, fuel, and tires. But only if you use it. It is so easy to use that you will refuse to be without it. That's what many of our customers are saying. To those of you that purchase Air Chex from us, we hope you are satisfied and will talk about them here (and elsewhere of course!)
They will pay for themselves quite quickly, probably in mere months, and keep on saving for you year after year. Please check them out and ask for the 'Truckingboards' discount!

The biggest problem with this that I can see is that the wheels will be thrown out of balance.

Not been a problem with anybody so far. Your tires weigh over 200 lbs. You would need more than a few ounces to make a difference. Plus, if you notice, they are mounted opposite of each other and cancel out the added weight. We have them mounted on 5 hand hold hole steel wheels where they are not exactly opposite each other and there is still no problem.

I may be old fashioned but is there anything wrong with using a tire gauge ------- at least that way you get close enough to the rig to check out a few things

Nothing at all! The obvious benefit is by using Air Chex, the tire pressure is there all the time. Its purpose is to relieve you of the task of putting the air gauge on each of the 16 tires. With Air Chex, its already there! Does anybody here enjoy checking the pressure on the inner tires? Not likely. So with Air Chex you hop out of the truck, make a left, look at your drive wheels which probably takes all of 5 seconds, walk to the trailer tires and spend another 5 seconds checking the pressure, do the same on the other side. What's that take, a minute? And if that pesky inner tire needs air just fill it right from the Air Chex. And you still have time to check a few More things.

Think I will rely on my tire gauge then while I am checking my tire pressure from close up I can also check for wheel cracks, visably check for loose nuts, check the tires for uneven wear, check for missing balance weights and inspect for the hundred other things I can't see from 5 feet away.

Nothing costs less and saves more than a PROPER inspection.

But then what do I know ---I've only been an O/O for 30 years
