    Nothing?
    Find a nice flat piece of road and have another look remembering that on a slope one set will look deflated and two will possibily look over-inflated.

    Also go to a BP garage and use the electronic (& free) tyre pump. It will automatically check everything is A OK.

    Some tyres have weaker side walls than others. Depends on the spec of tyre you buy usually, it won't mean much, just that you get less tyre noise when driving. As long as the pressure is right, I would'nt worry

    No Sensei, i'm not kicking the mats to waste time, they have parted and I don't want to injure myself!

    Lead Head, my tires looked like they where completely flat, yes granted i do have some rather low profiles on, but even so it looks awful, when checking them last weekend, found they where only just 1psi down all round.
