Tire Air Pressure

[Rara Avis]

Without intending to steal the post, how do people check pressure in calcium-filled tires? With the valves as high as possible there's still liquid at them. Seems like they'd spoil the tester. I don't worry about putting live air to the tire, figuring the hose pressure is greater than the tube pressure, but how do you test? My old farming neighbor used to like to see the outside end bars of the ag tread just touching flat ground.

So does all the above apply to turf and Ag tyres equally, or are they treated differently?

I'm running AG's and run about 20# in the rear and 50# in the front (need the extra because of the FEL).
