I checked my tire pressure this morning, my car is in the garage at night so the tires were cool from sitting all night.  As usual, the dealer didn't check the tires when I bought it on Sunday.  All the tires were low and different amounts of air pressure.  I know that every tire guage will real somewhat different, but these were all over the chart.

At least it was easy to reset the tire pressure monitor after getting the right amount of pressure in the tires.

i have been experimenting with tire pressure and have found that cold tire pressure @ 31psi rear and 34psi front gives the best ride for me and my xB feels very stable...

My XB supposedly came with a tire-pressure monitor???
BUT, I see nothing about it on my dash?
There is a button under my dash that is supposed to reset it, but still... No feedback on the dash of any kind.

Anyone know anything about this?

The indicator will only come on if there is a problem... no indicator, you're probably clear. Be sure to check your tire pressure just in case Smiley
