Winter is here, and tire pressure is something you want at the forefront of your mind during this season.
Why? Simply put, winter's lower temperatures cause the air pressure in a cold tire to drop. When that happens, the tire shrink. I know you might be thinking that objects usually expand when cooled, but remember that your tires are filled with air (a gas), so they will instead contract.
The rule of thumb is that for every change in 10 degrees (Fahrenheit), your tire's inflation will drop by about 1 PSI. So, fill up those tires, folks!
