Can I feel one tire down 1 psi during street driving? Laughable.
Maybe the problem is that you don't have any curves in Oklahoma, only corners. We don't have that problem west of Austin.



Seriously, dude, I've checked it several times because I thought it might be my imagination at first. I have a precision racing air gauge used to compare the tires; it is accurate to within 1/10 lb. The first time it was a three pound difference between the left and right front tires and I thought there was a problem with the steering. It was the pressure; I equalized the tires and the problem went away. On two other occasions, I have noticed a small amount of unpredictability in the car's rear end (as it enters oversteer) when the rear tire inflations are not the same. A one pound difference makes a small but noticeable difference in the behavior of the rear end.

I don't really give a shit whether you believe me or not, and there really isn't any point in debating something when you're not willing to accept its possibility in the first place. So I guess we're done.
