front drivers side tire always looks flatter than rest
car: 1990 ES250
the front drivers side tire always looks flatter than the rest of the tires. does the battery weigh down that corner of the car that much? why the heck would it always look flatter? i put a set of brand new tires on and it still looks flatter than the other 3 tires.

Seems strange. Do you ever check the air pressure when it looks lower? I do this quite often. I'm always looking at my tires when I get in/out of the car. If it looks low, I just bust out the tire guage in the glove box.

But you can't really check tire pressure all the time after getting in/out of the car. The tires have to be cold for an accurate pressure reading.
If it's that noticeable for it to be lower, then add 1-2 more psi of air in that one tire. See how handling feels after that.

it's not necessarily a bad thing that it "looks" lower... you want even tire pressures side to side, else the car may handle differently when turning one way versus the other...
just check the air pressure at home, in the morning before driving, if they are even, then let it be...
