Having worked in a wheel/tyre and brake O/H shop here in UK, Dunlop, Bendix, BFG, Messier Bugatti and tyre manufacturers Dunlop, Michellin and Bridgestone all advocate in manuals that tyres be pressure tested over 24 hour period with a % of pressure loss, or dip test after 1 hour. Then reduce them to 30/40 psi for storage and transportation.

Removal from axle:- ensure core is removed once jacked up. Reason being bolt failure.
