Tire Pressure Vs. Ambient
I recently found that adjusting our tires to the cold inflation temperature base on the local ambient may not be the correct way to do this. Based on this info, the ambient temp for setting tire pres...

As for me, I check air pressure before leaving on a trip. I then use my "Ryan Newman - NASCAR" microscopic drill to drill a bleeder hole in the tire. As the tire warms up, the increased pressure bleeds off through the microscopic hole and I arrive at my destination with the same tire air pressure as I started with.
I have various diameter microscopic drill bits based on the beginning and ending temperatures planned for my trip.
I will send you my chart and you may want to adopt my tire pressure solution.
After all, Ryan Newman is a NASCAR winner - occasionally. :)
BTW - the above was all in fun. That scenario actually played out and cost RCR $250,000 plus suspensions and probation.
I check and set pressure before I leave and will do a ball bat 'thump' test and also do a temperature test with an infrared thermometer during stops.
