Tires

[RClark]

I have seen tire charts and door stickers that tell you have pressure to inflate the tires too. They don't say at what temperature. There is a big difference between 40, 60 and 80 degrees.

What temperature should be used and how do you compensate for higher or lower temps?

It's not that critical... ... ... .

Tire Pressure vs. Temperature

This AM the tires were74 psi at 58 F. . Set them to 78 and will see what happens

Why so high?

Ck the tire pressure when cold if possible. Meaning before they have been driven on. Most people never ck them and even fewer ck the spare. If you have driven on the tires let them cool off in shade if possible, 30 minutes should be enough, and that would be fine if your worried. The sun heats then up if hitting them direct but only 2-3 psi worth. My truck sits east/west and southern exposure raises pressure on that side.
