Yeah parking spots fill up pretty fast so its best to get there as early as possible or have some friends save you some spots.

Depending how fast your going the ticket might cost more than just getting a lawyer to sort it out. goodluck!

All your tires dropped that low in pressure? Do you check your tire pressures weekly?

One thing about waiting until the sensors tell you your pressures are too low is you end up burning a lot more gas since the more deflated the tires are the more gas you consume to drive.

Just a little FYI for ya...

I dont check them weekly but Im going to start. We had to air them up again last night.

The gas mileage wasnt really a concern to me because I have such a heavy foot. So I havent noticed any change in that.

Tires still look low to me this morning. Even though TMPS wasnt going off. I dont know if it's because Im more conscious of them (and just stressing myself out) or what, but Im going to BMW anyways on Saturday so I'll have them triple check.

Could be something wrong with the system, when it said all 4 were low did you check the pressure in them before filing them up to see if thats true?

Thats really odd that all 4 would do that at the same time. Change in weather temp can do that but usually not like drastic, just enough to trip the sensors. Just keep an eye on them.

Had the same thing happen to me in December and earlier this year. Seems to happen if the tires are slightly under inflated and the outside temperature drops quickly by about 40 degrees.

need help with wheel sizes....I'm wanting to get the Miro 111's in a size as close as stock as possible, because I just bought tires, and don't want to have to buy new ones. they are available in 18x8.5 ET35, as well as 18x8.5 ET20, and 18x9.5 ET20. **********s has the 8.5 ET20's listed as front wheels, but that offset seems mighty low to me...will that work? Also, will the 9.5 ET20 work in the rear? I'm not looking to roll or modify my fenders at all. Is my only option to just go with the 18x8.5 all around, and will the front 225's fit with no issues on those front wheels?

they were probably already very close to the alarm point before the temperature drop if they hadn't been checked in a while, and then when the drop happened they all went way low. not an uncommon thing.

Perhaps you need a 2nd opinion on your tire pressures and probably a better tool to measure tire pressure.

I have two tire pressure gauges just to make sure they are consistent.

The gas station tire pressure gauges are NEVER accurate. (if they are I'm surprised).

You should get your own gauge at any local auto store and double check consistency and accuracy.

I usually fill the front tires 2 PSI more then recommended. I usually fill the rear 2 less PSI for straight line traction.

BTW I had one cheap gauge back in the day, I was about 10 PSI off on my tires because of it. Stay away from the cheap stuff.
