Tires loaded rear tires

It sure is a pain trying to check the air pressure with that stuff that they loaded them with. Even with the valve on top like it should be a little of that stuff comes out and fills up the air gauge so it doesn't work right .

You need a "tractor" gauge, designed for use with fluids. They have a spring that pushes the stem back in and the fluid out. That does mean you need to read the gauge while it's on the fitting, or hold the stem with your fingers when you remove it until you can read it. A tractor supply or good hardware should have them.

Even with a tractor gauge, I do this. Valve stem at top dead center, take your air hose and blow a blast of air into the tire - this will clean anything out of the stem. With the stem cleared, go ahead and take the pressure reading.

That is exactly what I do, and don't have a problem with a non liquid gauge.

i run tubes in all my tires. personally like to keep a lower PSI in tires. i doubt i could notice it myself, but little more tread touching the ground for traction, and a little bit more suspension on hard ground and little bumps all over the place. granted when i go and do stuff that requires heavy weight to be lifted / heavy pulling, the PSI goes up.

That's interesting about a tractor gauge as I didn't know about them. I will pick up one at tractor supply.I like the idea about the tubes , but it is to late for that now .
Thanks everyone
