Tire pressures during temperature swings
I see a 3-4 PSI rise in my Ram 2500 tires from a cold start to highway driving after 30 minutes. During the day, if starting off from a cold location, to the hottest destination, do you account for...

I never bleed air from morning start, while driving to destination. I will wait until next morning, at new location, to adjust.
Yes, a 70 degree difference in temp will make a noticeable difference. While this is not the norm, in this case I might consider starting pressure a lb or two less, while days end will likely be over pressure. In any case, tires are designed to inflate when heated, but tire makers still say "go by cold pressure, before travel."
