Dual Tire Pressures
My understanding is that you want the dual tire pressures to be evenly matched. Checking my pressures this morning, I noticed that the inside tire on one side is 2 pounds lower than the outside tire. Is this a concern?

They should be the same but 2# is no big deal. Maybe the outer tire is heated by the sun. I'd just keep an eye on it to make sure it's not losing air.

Thanks, Jor, the sun is not a factor as it’s not up yet!

I read somewhere about having the inner tire about 2psi lower than the outer to compensate for road camber that causes uneven wear between the tires.
