![]() ![]() So cold is when inside tire temp is same as outside tire, so ambiënt temp. The cold advice is determined to give the tire warm a deflection that wont overheat any part of it.Ĭold advice is determined for 18 degr C/ 65 degr F., some say its 20/68 but not worth discussion because difference in pressure is marginal. ![]() Because you dont know howmuch it has cooled down already, when you measure. Of course, there are always caveats concerning specialty tires, sport vehicles, type of use, etc.Ĭlick to expand.Cold pressure is because that is the only reliable way to check. Just my opinion and habit over the years. So 35 or 36 PSI stays usually within 1 or 2 PSI and seems safe for acceptable tire traction in light snow, rain, etc. the increase form "cold" to "Warm" tire pressure is not as extreme. ![]() I usually go with the 36 to 37 PSI cold and find they may get up to 39 or 40 PSI which still ride ok since the vehicle is heavier than our smaller compact car and often my truck or SUV will be carrying more load. But it works out well for MPG and over all handling. even approaching almost too firm for a comfortable ride. Given that the tire patch of a relatively large 17" or 18" tire on a small car is quite a good size in relation to the vehicle size, the 35 PSI cold pressure and 38 to 39 PSI warm tire pressure on a small car rides very firmly at that point. The reason for this is that, they too will rise from 35 PSI to 38 or even 39 PSI even in 60F to 70F ambient temperatures when driven on the highway for even 20 minutes of so. I found smaller lighter cars usually do better going by the car maker "35 PSI". And agree, weight of vehicle, size and usual expected load of driver and passenger(s) are a key component to consider. I usually run 36 or 37 PSI in most of our vehicles. ![]()
