For every 10 degrees increase in temperature, your air pressure will increase by approximately 1 PSI. Conversely, for every 10 degrees drop in temperature, your air pressure will decrease by approximately 1 PSI.
Depending on when you are checking in regard to driving that would also make a difference.

Trag didn’t you grow up in the northeast?! Every fall, that first cool morning, you check your tires. Maybe you never knew because back then we didn’t have low tire indicators.

Mrs Wease’s work car was showing her passenger front tire at 21 lbs the last couple of days. Got my compressor and put about 10 lbs in. Her indicator was still saying 21. So I put about 15 more in. Car still saying only 21. So I got my old manual tire pressure gauge out and measured. It had 37 lbs. Something is way fucked up with her monitoring system.E.H.

You usually have to drive it around the neighborhood for ten minutes for the system to register it. Or sometimes you have to manually reset it - our MINI was like this.wease wrote:Mrs Wease’s work car was showing her passenger front tire at 21 lbs the last couple of days.
