Setting tire pressure before hitting the road
Getting ready to hit the road and want to set tire pressure on truck and trailer. Max load pressure on 5th wheel is 110 lb. I set tire pressure cold but should it be set first thing in morning or late...

I set mine to be correct for the approximate temp that I will begin towing. If cold at 7 am, much warmer at 3 pm, I adjust for my 10 am departure temp. Say tire pressure should be 80 psi cold, and 7 am temp is 40 degrees, but mid afternoon likely 75 degrees. I would set mine at 78 psi at 7 am temp, guessing 55 degrees, at my 10 am departure time will net 80 psi. Hope you understand, just my way, and works for me.
