Please, feel free to insult me for such a ridiculous question. Me being a total noob, I ask: "What is Tire Pressure?" I have heard many things about it, many having to deal with Al Fansome. I would appreciate any responses.

Uh-oh! You better hope He doesn't see that post.
I'll be in my spider hole.

Better make sure to check your tire pressure, that's all I'll say.

I got a garden cart the other day, and wouldn't you know it, two of the tires were flat.

Yeah, developed leaks over the winter on both the wheelbarrow and one of the lawn tractor tires. The bottoms were flat, but the tops still looked OK. I was going to just flip 'em around and use the tops, but decided to shoot 'em full of Green Slime instead. I had mow confidence in that solution.

That's weird.
Winter 2014-2015, my garden cart had lost its air in its four tires. Filling them up again fixed that. After this winter, its four tires are still filled.
Also had to fill up my snow blower's tires at the beginning of the snow season. Its tires are still fine.
My car has a slow leak in one of its tires. And I'm upset as the tires were made in Romania and RRI is one of my favorite stations. In my next reception report to them, I may send them that tire and demand a refund, or at least feature it on one of their upcoming QSL cards. This had better not turn into an international incident.
Something happened in 2015 to cause air to leave tires. I'm going to call my congressman to have him set up a blue ribbon commission to get to the bottom of this.

My wheel barrow's tire ALWAYS needs to be checked for air. >:(

The mysteries of tire pressure are vast and complex. I'd consult an expert pressurologist.

Mine too MDK...every time. I even re-tubed the tire last summer after having so much trouble with it. It held air just fine for the rest of 2015. Then we had a sunny and mild day early in March. I reached for that trusty wheel barrow and... FLAT. I'm thinking sunspots, or maybe the fof2. Chris - can you maybe put up a daily tire pressure chart on the Prop Tools page? Just a thought...

I have a bicycle that's about 25 years old and last rode it about 20 years ago. Its tires are flat and last time I pumped 'em up, I rode about 10' before they deflated bad enough again. The thing currently hangs in the garage awaiting repair.

My old snowblower gave up the ghost a few years back...I went out and bought a new "snow chevelle", and it was flat on the bottom...
Who's supposed to check the tire pressure on a driverless car...just wondering!

As a complete outsider to this forum (listener only) I've often wondered what it's all about. Besides obviously being an inside joke,( & here's hoping to not make any enemies ), it's a metaphor for hot air. ;) Please note the smilie/wink face please. I said please!

You have so much to learn, Grasshopper. Tire pressure is no joke.
