Question - do the manufacturer tyre pressure level recommendations remain correct in all ambient air temperatures? Or do I need to make an adjustment for the actual ambient air temperature?
In other words, if my manual tells me to use 30psi for all tyres (tested when the tyres are 'cold'), can I pump in 30 psi regardless of whether the air temp is 0 degrees c or 45 degrees c and then drive with the tyres being correctly pressurised (assuming the ambient air temp remains the same)?
Or should I (in theory) put extra pressure in when the air temp is hotter and lower it slightly when cold?
Answer doesn't seem obvious to me!
Thanks.
