Did anyone else have a tire pressure alert from the cold weather temperature drop. My truck on the way home from work lit up and my SUV lit up too when I drove it last night. Checked both vehicles for nails and found none. All eight tires were about 7-8 pounds low on air pressure.
@SwaggyG: Â Tire pressure is indeed related to temperature; however, a 7-8 psi drop seems excessive for the temperatures we're seeing.I think
@ET and
@terilyntx experiences are more in line with our colder weather. Â I would not add air until I drove around for a while and heated up the tires/air. Â Then add air to bring it up to recommended pressures. Â If you add air with everything cold, the air pressure may go over recommended pressures when the tires/air heat up.
