Thanks for the post very useful.

Two things that jump out and that have been discussed on the various threads that could get folks into trouble.

One - those that like to travel at the maximum speed of their rigs and have discussed having the speed limiter kick in. This leaves no room for correction if required and discussed in the Michelin video.

Two - those that have reduced their tire pressure to the lower limit to increase the enjoyment of the ride. As discussed in the video two major causes of rapid deflation are tire failure and under inflation. One only has to think back to the Ford and Firestone fiasco with the Explorer under inflation of the tires and how many folks were killed or injured in a roll over when the tires blew out due to under inflation for a "smoother ride".

May you be safe and happy in your travels.
