Does tire pressure change with temperature?
Yes. For every 10°F drop in outside temperature, your tire pressure drops about 1 PSI. This is why TPMS warning lights often come on during the first cold snap of autumn. The opposite is also true — tire pressure increases about 1 PSI per 10°F temperature rise. Always inflate to the recommended 36/35 PSI when tires are cold.
