And remember, pressure increases with temperature, so as it gets warmer and with the friction of the tire on the road you could easily exceed 50 psi if you start at 45.
Oh, I got what your saying. But how quickly does a tire lose pressure? It's only in the 30-40s here in NJ, and when the sun comes up it's about 50-60. Is that really warm enough to expand them over the max?!! I guess I could take it back to 40? I think the tires were tracking like that to begin with becuz maybe all tires weren't even psi. I'll give it a whirl..THANKS
