what do you use to pump up your tires?
I use to use my bike pump but now I can't pump it up anymore because the adaptor that goes in to the valve leaks now. I bought a electric pump today but the adapter on that does not go down far enough to push down the pin for tha valve. I know I can just go to the gas station but I want to have something that I can use anytime and is durable. I don't want to buy compressor either.

I used my floor bike pump that can pump up to 100+ psi. I use it to top the pressure off not to pump up a fully deflated tire.[hr]

radial tires tend to look flat all the time. if you squeal slow turns, that's the best clue to check inflation.
also when temps change too. 30psi @ 90 degrees will drop when the temp drops, PV=nRT you know...

I used to use my electric air pump but the nozzle doesn't fit over 2 of the valve stems on my wheels for some reason. The idiots did something when I had my tires switched to my rotas. So, I do it at the gas station now. It's only about a mile from the house. Not really far enough to raise the pressure but I always check it before I leave the house and when I get there.
30 psi front and rear
I have heard that 32psi is the best all around pressure for sport/daily commute.

They have pumps for doing that? Here I am using a straw, me and brother take turns. Well... now I know. Ok seriously people, I'm all for helping people out, but I can't believe that was even asked. Unless it was a joke, in that case it was funny.
