Tire pressure in cold

[Mazari4life]

I understand tire pressure gets low in the cold and adjust itself with driving. The last few weeks, since temperature has dropped, tire pressure is at 36 and there’s an alert. Within 10 minutes of driving it becomes 37 and alert goes away. My question is, it wouldn’t cause any damage to drive 10-15 minutes at low pressure ?

Thanks in advance

It's better for your tires, car handling, and energy economy to just put more air in your tires.

Air up your tires to 41 psi cold and you'll be fine. It's the seasonal tire adjustment. At my local gas station . convenience store, I've seen people waiting 2 or 3 cars in line at the air pump over the last week or two to do the same thing.

I can remember conversations about using inert gas (?nitrogen) to avoid tire pressure changes with temperature

Nitrogen still follows the ideal gas law. Let’s not go there.

Thanks for the inputs everyone

Just to confirm, air to 41 in cold? Which could go to 43 after driving ten minutes.

Recommended tire inflation pressures are for cold tires. The pressures are expected to rise when you drive. You should see the jump in pressure when I drive my RV in hot weather.
