[QUOTE="Artee, post: 1236901, member: 24351"] They will fail you on the DOT pre trip right there. Kicking a tire will not tell you if its properly inflated. By the sound of the kick or thump you can tell if the tire might be low, flat, or even off the rim. But the only way to check for proper inflation is to use a tire pressure gauge. On my tractor, I will spot check and turn a couple lugs by hand. A few years back we had a driver find one starting to back off. Would be nice if the FedEx mechanics would paint a line between the lug and the stud to make a visual inspection easy. Half the time though they are not the ones doing the R&R of the tires. [/QUOTE]
