Yea, if you want to wait from them to get down to 24 psi. I like mine a little more uniform than that.

RE: Maintenance Schedules?
My critique:
Inspect tires & tire pressure - every week--Once a month is enough.
Inspect all lights - once a month--do thisjust beforeinspection time!
Motor oil + filter - every 3,000mi or 3 months or 200 hours of engine operation--Most oils go 5k miles w/oissues.
Lubricate Lower Control Arm + Steering Linkage Ball Joints w/Zerk Fittings (you find them for me!)- every 3,000 miles or 3 months--no need for this one.
Rotate & inspect Tires & wheel end-play and turning noise - every 3,000 miles or 3 months--every 6000 to 7500 miles.
Multi-point inspection - every 3,000 miles or 3 months--ain't that what all of this $hit is????
Check battery charge + electrolyte level - every 3,000 miles or 3 months--most batteries are sealed/maintenance free
Inspect Brake System - every 5,000 miles or 6 months--Once a year at inspection time is enough.
Parking Brake Adjustment - every 7,500 miles or 6 months--never needed.
Check and replace (if necessary) all window wipers - every 6 months--every 2 years.
Transmission fluid - every 15,000 miles or 12 months--every 3 years or 36000 miles
Coolant - every 15,000 miles or 12 months--good for 3 to 5 yrs or 50k to 75k miles.
Fuel Filter - every 1 year or 15,000 miles--not necessary any more; yeah lets pull the fuel tank once a year!
Inspect & lubricate all non-sealed steering linkage, ball joints, suspension joints, half and drive-shafts and u-joints - every 1 year or 15,000 miles--all are permanently sealed at the factory.
Air Filters - clean or replace once a year--every 3 years or 36000 miles--hold a light to it and that's how to check it.
Brake fluid change every 2 years or 30,000 miles--what? No one changes their damn brake fluid.
Spark Plug Replacement - every 2 years or 30,000 miles--100,000 miles. Unleaded fuel and platnium tips make them last.
Change Transaxle Fluid - every 2 years or 30,000 miles--duh this car is RWD!!!
Lubricate Front Wheel Bearings, Replace Grease Seals, Adjust Bearings - every 2 years or 30,000 miles--do at brake jobs
Change Transfer Case Fluid - every 2 years or 30,000 miles--duh this car is not a 4 x 4 truck!
Inspect complete exhaust system and heat shields - every 2 years or 30,000 miles--screw it until you hear a leak.
PCV Valve - every 2 years or 30,000 miles
Timing Belt Replacement - every 3 years or 48,000 miles--did ya know we have a timing CHAIN in our cars?????
Power steering fluid change - every 3 years or 48,000 miles--not necessary
Change rear axle lubricant; non-synthetic only - every 5 years or 75,000 miles--not necessary.
Now I have a question. If one were to do all this $hit, when would you be able to drive the car? Hell, it would be on a rack somewhere getting serviced 95% of the time.
One more question: Have you ever worked on a car at all?
Pathetic.
