Cool Re: Is This Tire Pressure Chart Legit?

Yes, yes, but that is NOT how tire pressure works. Tires are supposed
to be inflated at ambient conditions. STP just doesn't apply.

1) Larry's(from AA1Car) words, verbatim:

"Thanks for the feedback. I agree that chart is
confusing. I am going to redo it to make it less
confusing. The chart was originally provided by
the Rubber Mfrs Assn. and lists pressures up to 90
PSI which is for heavy-duty over the road trucks.


What the chart is trying to indicate is how much
additional tire pressure it takes to provide the
same weight carrying capacity as the temperature
drops.
"

2) How tire pressure works:
You are saying, if I read you correctly, that all I have to do, monthly or otherwise, is adjust my tires to the correct/recommended cold pressures.

IE: If 33psi cold is recommended, just maintain that 33psi, from August high temperatures to February lows, and that's enough.

Do I have that correct?
