This is related to that long rant from the guy (Yesterday) that just purchased his vette and was worried about how so many things were going to go wrong... See he told you so!! All you have to do is blow air on the tire and it has problems!!! SHEEESH!!

If you have the run flats that never need filling with air (I think this was discussed last week), then you can safely ignore this message.
If, on the other hand, you have the more common version then you probably didn't dry your car in a proper star pattern. Not drying the car in the correct fashion tends to cause a build-up of air at one corner and a loss at the other. You can correct this by washing and redrying the car but, this time, weighting your time so that the average over the two washes is the same.
Alternatively, you could put some air in your LR tyre and resort to the old-fashioned trick of checking your tyre pressures on a regular basis.

This is why I check out the forum at least once a day...where else are you going to find this kind of information!?!

I did tonight, and it seemed to work great. When I started up, the digital readout read - "low presssure LR"
Any thoughts, suggestions,??
