I elected to go with it, and avoid hitting big bumps at high speed.

Be aware that this increased the overall height. If I did that then I could no longer park the TM in the garage.
We purchase our 2005 TM 2720 new, taking delivery in March 2005. I have somewhere around 7k miles with no tire problems. I never exceed 60 mph, seeing as the legal speed limit is 55 mph. We have the factory Marathons.
I check the tire pressure for TM and TV when we leave home with a pressure gauge. For a weekend trip I just visually inspect it, tire kick test, when we break camp to go home.
I have had zero problems.
