tire pressures
Hi, I have a tire pressure monitoring system. I'm noticing a trend while driving that the inner dual tires on both sides are warmer and exhibiting higher pressure than the outside ones. On my la...

I have always wondered about the ambient temperature and the cold pressure setting. I don't let pressure out because the morning temperature is a bit warmer one day versus the next. I set mine the other day and was at 81 and 81 for the two rear tires. Temperature was around 70. This morning the temps were under 60 degrees and the pressure had dropped to 76 and 77. We are moving into summer so if I will watch and may need to make a slight adjustment one way or the other. That should do it for the next several months. I do get frustrated with garages. Some seem to take it upon themselves to change the tire pressures when I go in for an oil change. I usually remember to tell them to leave the tires alone. Once I pulled in to a quick change for an oil change. The tires had been running on hot pavement all day. The shop lowered the pressures on the rear tires to about 70 psi. That was probably equivalent to around 60 psi cold.
