Last weekend I took the winter tires/wheels off the CX-9 and put the OEM tires/wheels back on. Since they'd been sitting for a couple months, I wanted to make sure that the OEMs have the appropriate tire pressure.
Now before I go on, let me tell you what I understand to be true re tire pressure:
So my question is this - at what ambient (outside) temperature should the pressure be at the recommended 34psi?
And yes, I know I'm probably totalllly over-thinking this.
Now before I go on, let me tell you what I understand to be true re tire pressure:
- The placard in the door frame of my CX-9 recommends 34psi all around;
- This is the "cold" pressure (i.e. the pressure taken before the vehicle has been driven);
- Tire pressure will increase as I drive because of the heat of the tire itself; and
- For every +/-10* change in ambient temperature the pressure will drop or rise by ~1psi.
So my question is this - at what ambient (outside) temperature should the pressure be at the recommended 34psi?
And yes, I know I'm probably totalllly over-thinking this.
