What bugs me is 99.9999999999999% of people who would: do it, consider it or mearly think it is "cool" would get much better performance out of any wheel/tire combo, including stock by merely checking their tire pressure more frequently.

Everyone here ask yourselve's when you last checked your tire pressure, fluids?

I'm anal about it and no word of a lie: I "circle check" everytime I plan on going near a car.

You've got a valid point man. Generally, all spring/summer/fall I use my handy-dandy digital pressure gauge to check my tires once every week or two. As for fluids, I'm negligent except for washer fluid. If a car with 76K on it is eating coolant or oil, or leaking either... it's going in the shop. There's no need for that level of BS.

I wonder if we shouldn't write up a circle check for our new-to-all-cars members?
