With the temperature dropping to 40 F and 30 F recently I notice that my tire pressure dropped quite a bit (from 42 psi to 37 psi at 38 F).
I inflated back to 42 psi at 38F and notice now at 29 F it is 41. I understand the relationship between temperature and pressure but was surprised that it changes so much, but I never bothered much with the tire pressure on my previous cars.
My real question here is that I keep the Model Y LR with 19 inch wheels and Continental standard tires in my garage that is 65 F to 70 F and I am wondering the correct way to deal with this and sort of worry about the tire pressure going up too much in the garage.
I think the correct thing to do is to put the car outside at the typical temperature for the season, let the tires sit there for a couple hours and then inflate to the specified 42 psi. Is that the right?
Is there a minimum and maximum tire pressure for these tires when you are not at the official 42 psi? I remember seeing some posts where people were underinflating for comfort and over inflating for stiffer ride. What would be the danger zones?
Thanks.
