So Monday morning i pretripped the vehicle after my Christmas break was over. I found that my passenger side steer had 60psi. It looked like there was a nail in it with a shaved off head however after the shop removed all debree from the tire nothing had pierced the inside wall. The tire since has not lost even 1psi.

So at some point someone relieved the tire of 45 psi roughly as it was at 105 when i parked it before the break.

This being said if some of you thump the tires instead of using an air pressure guage i might recommend you check the psi daily. Had i missed this and ince fully loaded this could have blown on the first highspeed curve which for me would could have been right off a cliff climbing i17n to flagstaff
