View Full Version : Tire Pressure Setting?-Big temp. Change here

I think I have a good one here-
I'm in CO and the temp was 36 this morning and 76 this evening. I drive the same amount at both times (work commute). Since tire pressure changes by 1 PSI for every 10 degrees, what temp. should I use for setting my pressure?

My first thought is to compromise halfway and assume 56 as my temp. I'm using 35F/32R for my pressure on my '07 STI. Just put the summer tires back on since the temps are back up again.

That is way too low to start anyway.

You must be with the 38F/36R racing crowd? I got the 35/32 recommendation from Luke actually. I think it's a nice compromise between 38/36 above and the 35/29 listed on my car. I don't know why Subi. says 35/29 (I agree that's low) but I think 35/32 make sense. Now just trying to figure out the temp. adjustment to make.

Is 35/32 your cold pressure? Either way, you are fine, the tires aren't getting over pressured from that bit of a temp change, especially since you are a bit on the low side to begin with.

Yeah, 35/32 cold. Thanks.
