cmbb, The other posts are correct about the valve stem should be at the top of the rim when you check the pressure. And I would suggest that you use one of those "sliding" style gauges {used for large trucks} too..... However, the other fine folks forgot to tell you to use the air chuck to shoot a quick burst of air into the tire (only takes a half-second of air) in order to blow any calcium chloride out of the valve stem. This will "clear" any fluid that is trapped in the valve stem, so that when you put the air gauge on the valvestem, the pressure does not blow the "C-C fluid" into the gauge!!! We have fluid in all our tractor's rear tires and have used the same air gauge for well over 15 years without it corroding, which is caused by the salt-like properties of the fluid. We don't have to wash the gauge out or anything, because we clear the fluid out of the stem before checking the pressure!!! BTW, On duals, we always try to put the outside dual wheels on the tractor with the valvestems aligned with the inside wheel valvestems. This saves having to move the tractor 4 times to get each valvestem on top-center.
