fiddlyD 10-17-2005, 12:53 AM hey guys i went threw quite a bit of mud yesterday and now my tire pressure monitor says i have a flat and the warning light on the dash and nav screen is on...tire pressure reads 30psi(normal for me). i went threw a car wash and got the mud off but still no luck...any suggestions??? fiddlyD 92TripleBlack 10-17-2005, 01:03 AM No. The sensor is inside the tire on the stem. Not sure how mud on the outside could affect the inside. :confused: drcookie 10-17-2005, 01:50 AM 30psi is a little too low in my opinion. Have you tried increase the tire pressure to at leave 35psi and see if the warning light goes off? Just a thought. PumaFiveOh 10-17-2005, 02:30 AM 30psi is a little too low in my opinion. Have you tried increase the tire pressure to at leave 35psi and see if the warning light goes off? Just a thought. 30psi is too low, mine went off too when tire pressure dropped to 30psi. You need to have the pressure at around 35-37 (which is normal). fiddlyD 10-17-2005, 10:22 AM ill try 35 psi today and see what happens....thanx fiddlyD 92TripleBlack 10-17-2005, 10:31 AM ill try 35 psi today and see what happens....thanx fiddlyD You should get better mileage, wear and handling also though we are talking contis here though. ;) fiddlyD 10-17-2005, 11:50 AM at what pressure does the flat tire light go on?? fiddlyD ggeorgie 10-17-2005, 11:59 AM at what pressure does the flat tire light go on?? fiddlyD Mine would go off at 28, took it to the dealer for a tirepressure sensor TSB, and found out that I had a nail in the tire, they fixed it and did not charge me :cool: 92TripleBlack 10-17-2005, 12:00 PM The manual says 28 PSI sets it off. ;) fiddlyD 10-17-2005, 12:17 PM then why is mine going off at 30 and 31?? fiddlyD 92TripleBlack 10-17-2005, 12:23 PM I'd say either the tolerance is slightly off or your gauge is. Regardless, you should be running at 35psi. Lower than that and you start getting bad wear and mileage. ;) hullio 10-17-2005, 04:01 PM you have to pass the 35psi..the light will then go away..it goes off at 28..this is how it works with our Armada PumaFiveOh 10-17-2005, 04:34 PM then why is mine going off at 30 and 31?? fiddlyD Becasue temp, altitude etc all effect tire pressure. It can swing it I would say up to 4-5 PSI depending on conditions. LaWnDaRt 10-22-2005, 02:37 PM My light came on and all 4 were at 34. I pumped them to 35 and the light stayed on. It took 4 days and a Sat appointment at the dealership to find out that they recommend 36 and that you have to drive about 25 miles to get the sensors to reset. BTW: The light finally went off on the way to the dealership :huh: fiddlyD 10-23-2005, 11:32 PM i fixed it....i just pumped all the tires to 35 and it went off and it was just the front two.....man i dont know how you guys drive with 35psi....its too damn bumpy and ratty....i went down to 32 and now im happy... fiddlyD schneid 10-24-2005, 08:50 AM I just changed my original BFG RTs at 25k miles. All four were worn evenly and they had 1/4" of tread left. I only replaced them to be ready for ski season. ggeorgie 10-24-2005, 10:50 AM I just changed my original BFG RTs at 25k miles.

What size where they? and how much did you pay? schneid 10-25-2005, 08:59 AM They were/are P285R70/17 BFG Rugged Trail T/A. Only bought three as I put the brand new spare into service. Bought them at Big O for $220.00 total each, mounted, balanced, old tire tax, and sales tax. Big O was cheaper than Sams or Costco. Either here or on TitanTalk some one was touting another BFG. I bought the original type so they match the spare. | ||
