Thanks for the replies, I use Garmin tpms sensors, so the the pressures are always good. I run mostly interstate and of course the average speed is 80 mph. I’ll be sending the wheel to the shop this week end.

Y'all be mindful of "overfilling" the tires....
My TPMS alarm is set to go off when the pressure hits 51 psi.
When I went across the country, there was one morning where the pressure read 43. A bit of altitude and we where headed down so I wasn't concerned.
The outside air temp rose more than a bit though, and the alarm was going off.
This was on a Dunlop E4.
I called Dunlop Engineering and started a case on when I should be concerned. Was 51 reasonable? Or should I set the alarm threshold higher?
They came back within 12 hours and stated "Do NOT change that alarm. Heed that alarm. Check to make sure that everything you have is accurate, and if so, ensure that your starting pressure is no more than 41."
So for those of you running higher psi, please ensure you are not exceeding 51 psi. Been to enough funerals lately.
Cheers,
Steve
