Well yesterday we got a good snow sotrm. Nothing like NY but I would say we have 10-12" with alot of drifts around 2ft+. These are some pics from today. County was declared a snow emergency, emergency travel only.

 

It wouldnt be so bad but it is so windy which is killing my eyes I am out there with my head almost all wrapped up.

We have 10" here in northern Kansas and it is drifting pretty bad. To make it worse the road graders seem to like pushing all of the snow in front of my driveway. Makes no sense to me since I am the only one of the street, but oh well atleast they are out doing their job.

plow went by me this morning and threw it half way into my driveway.

 

Just looked out back and had almost a 4 ft snow drift against the house/patio door. Not fun shoveling

And here I thought this 56 degree sunny weather was bad here in NC. :)

 

Well for some you can at least get some sled time in.

 

Everyone in the snow stay safe.

We're getting snow today here in Ottawa, about 5inches but with all the wind, well it piles up. But in the end, not a whole lot at all.

 

Toronto and the surrounding area got hit much harder, much like NY.

15" here from what the neighbor said the news showed. But the drifts...well I'll let the photos do the talking. Photo 1 is down the street where the drifts were 3/4 the height of the front doors. Photo 2 is the front of the house with the drifting and my efforts to deal with some of it. Photo 3 is looking East from my driveway.

I hope you all up north are doing ok. I have heard that parts of NY got over 10' of snow in the last week. Hope you all dig out before July 4th. Looks like our four weeks of winter will be coming to an end next week. By early March we are all thinking about golf and outdoor gatherings again..... :)

reminds me of christmas...went to colorado springs to visit my fiancees sister and brother-in-law. got snowed in on one of the many blizzards they have had. Here are some pics from Clayton, NM and Dalhart, Tx. Yes, the snow is half way up the light poles, and some drifts go to the top of buildings.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes exactly, more and more these days people/companies are afraid of liability issues so its easier just to say no rather than risk putting their neck on the line.    I will say with the Autel unit or when I used it last year on my truck, it wasn't like I could choose the 2025 model year or even the 2024 model year as that option was not there to manipulate the placard pressures but had to go back to 2023 or there abouts and then it showed up as an option, odd but that was how the software was then and I can't say one way or the other now as they throw out updates every so often. I still would talk to your tire dealer though to start with and they may do it for nothing but also they may have a comment on a better unit to purchase. All I know is that one of the large tire shops in my area happens to use these Autel units for their use and set them up to use the wifi and all of that jazz for constant updating because each tire tech has one handed to them by the shop but I just plugged it into my laptop to update it and yes if one is bought it has to be registered so you can get the link to do updates and then the unit has to be updated before its even used. I am not at all techy so it took me a bit but anyway just a heads up for anything you buy, most likely it will need to be connected to a computer to access the internet to have it updated to the latest software version before you can put it to use.   If your truck is near empty, those tire pressures you listed are a very safe upper range pressures to carry the weight, both the front and rear as I know they could be run lower yet with an empty truck. And if its a trailer and not some motorcycle your going to strap onto the front of your truck on a rack, you shouldn't have a need to inflate your front tires if your at 55 front already, its the rear ones that would need more air if you have much hitch weight.

      Thank you, I'll check that Autel scanner out and see if it will work for me! Ya I can see GM's point of view if they lower the psi set value for someone and the person sell's the truck and the new owner puts the factory tires back on then their could be liability issues cause the psi warning light wasn't coming on when the tires were under inflated for towing their load and then it might be able to be traced back to GM lowering it.

      I had a similar but different response when I talked to the service manager where I bought my truck in that he said GM corporate won't allow them to lower the placard pressure setting as they would get their hand slapped but that of course they have the ability to make that change. His suggestion was simply go to a tire dealer or third party shop that is willing to reset the pressures lower. However I chose to buy a tpms tool and partly based off of this very forum as it had been proven to work on the 2024 model ( Global B system ) and while I could have paid lots for a full two way diag tool, I didn't want to spend that much and bought the recommended Autel TS 508 and it will reprogram the 2025 model and assume it should do the 2026 as well. However the tool is rather proprietary to reprogramming Autel tpms sensors so that is a function I will never use, where as a real two way scanner would have many uses but also have yearly subscriptions etc where this 508 is free updates for as long as they put updates out for the unit. In any event it worked to lower the placard pressures and I often use it to adjust my actual tire pressures although will check with a mechanical gauge as well sometimes just to make sure that tires tpms sensor isn't lying to me.    My suggestion is either buy a tool that you know will work to adjust the system or start out by getting the tire shop you bought your tires from to reset your truck and if after that you still want a unit to do it yourself, get one at that point.

      Here is an image of a quick Google search about these tires on my truck and it's exactly same psi recommendation the Toyo tires company gave me!    I'm not looking for anyone else recommended psi or anything, I'm just looking to see if anyone knew a way to get rid of the factory low psi warning light, because I'm not running high psi and ruining my tires when I'm not towing!
