Cat's eyes are good, but big $$$.

Yes, revving an engine won't hurt anything but your pocketbook.

Do your drives say 11r22.5? or 275/80 22.5?

Back outside with the flashlight . Good thing I'm back in Florida and it's nice out. 295/75R. 22.5. I noticed you said 295/80, which are better?

I didn't want to spend the money on Cat's eys but I can't get myself to get out there in the freezing cold airing up 18 tires with that slow a** thing that connects to the glad hand so if I can cut it down to 10 I think I will be more apt to do it.

Btw, I have cut down on my downshifting coming to a stop from reading on here about reving up to downshift causes poor fuel economy.

There's just very small differences in heights, but they're all lo profile if they have something like 275/80 or 285/75. If they have 11R then they're regular profile.

Lo profile 22.5 are the shortest

11R22.5 and lo profile 24.5 are the same height, and in the middle

11R24.5 are the tallest.

You might want to consider michelin XDA energy tires. The most efficient conventional drive tire out there.

OR you can go to super singles without any change in RPMs.

Well now you lost me but I was hanging in there for a while. I am going to switch to all Michelin when the time comes. Hopefully that won't be for a while.

Thanks again for all your help.

Merrick, go to Walmart automotive section and buy a new air filler end, They have ones that clamp on and hold without having to keep your hand on it. Just cut the end off you old one and hose clamp the new one on. They work great.

You know actually you mentioned that before but I wasn't sure what you meant. What's a new air filler end? Is this a product designed specifically for that? If that's what it's called then I'll just ask for it by name in Walmart. Any problems I'll be here asking again :wink:

It's the end of the air hose that fits onto the valve stem. The one that you have to bend down and hold it on until the tire is filled. The one at Walmart has a little lever that holds the air nozzle on so you can stand up and wait for the tire to be filled without having to hold it on.

Ok I'll look for that. I read on here someone has one of those air hoses that connect to the glad hand on a reel in his sidebox. I think mines too small for that and I don't see how he connects it from his side box but I thought it was a good idea.

Do you have one of these hoses???

i think steve is saying to buy a new air chuck at walmart where is won't blow off you tire stem when you put air in your tires...
