Oops, forgot to check my tire pressure for almost a year!

All four tires were at 25 PSI. Not too bad. I've been having too much fun driving that it never crossed my mind! Filled them to the factory spec 32.

lol 25 is pretty low, im surprised that you couldn't feel that something was off. When my pressure gets low i can feel a distinctive "chunkiness"(for lack of a better word). Did you notice a better feel once you got them back up to pressure?

I can't believe you actually admitted to this.

I assumed the TPMS would go off at about 28 PSI, apparently not

I checked the tire pressure on my last DD religiously. I don't know why it never crossed my mind. I even carry a digital tire pressure gauge in my center console. I know the importance.

Nope. I've only driven to Costco and back, I'll do a little more spirited driving and see if I notice a difference.

I believe it is a 8-10 pound loss, the ones on my 07 Mazda used to go off at 22 PSI

I guess you didn't have nitrogen in them?

Most likely the only difference you'll feel at 25 PSI vs 32 is the ride will be smoother and not quite as quick steering response. I don't think the pressure sensor lights up unless you go below 20 PSI.
