I did a 41 minute ruck around the neighborhood this morning still with the 35 pounds in the ruck, and managed to do almost two miles in that time, missing it by just a bit when I got a call while rucking involving tires.
Not much to see, just some Canadian Murder Chickens giving me the side-eye.
So, the ruck got cut short by needing to help a friend add air to their tires. I have an inflator and the friend does not, and the TPM sensors on the car were screaming.
Tires are showing low inflation today because since we've had a cold snap recently the air pressure dropped, and so it was time to add air to the tires. The pressure had dropped from the recommended 41 psi (found on the inside of the drivers door frame) to 35 psi which is a pretty decent drop and enough to set off the warning.
I also checked and topped up my tires as well, as they too had dropped due to the cold below the recommend fill amount down to 38 psi. Not so much that they would kick off the TPM sensors. Back up to the stated 41 psi they went as well.
Still it was a decent little working to get moving this morning, and everyone's tires are inflated to where they should be, so not a bad start to the day.
So, if you've had a cold snap in your area now that autumn is here, you might as well check your tire pressure and adjust as required.
