 Cold tyre pressures - Bobby
Yesterday we we were down to 2 degrees and coincidentally I had to take my dad for a hospital appt.
On way to his, my BMW tyre monitoring system told me to check my pressures. So after I dropped him at hospital I got my compressor out and sure enough, where tyres should be 35/32 they were nearer 31/28.
Strange that all 4 were so far out.
So pumped them all up and reset the monitor.

Had to take him back this morning for follow up visit and it was 1 degree this morning.
I put on my tyre monitor thingy and my pressures were all away down again, down to 31/27.

But, on way home there, although outside is still at 3 degrees I have driven about 12 miles and the tyres were now almost touching 35/32 again!

I know they always say check pressures when cold but that is some difference, I didn’t expect to see that variance. But either way, I am guessing that it did mean that my tyres were all soft although going by this mornings pressures I should be pumping them all up again!
!
Going up North for a week tomorrow so might give them another check this afternoon at the petrol station when filling up with diesel.
