[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 851108, member: 52972"] TJR, There is a simple expaination...You are misinterpreting your TPM and only considering the temperature change as the culprit. If it was just expansion and contraction due to temperature changes, then you don't need to add air because the tire pressure will return to normal when the weather warms up. Right? No, it won't, because it actuall leaked out a little air. For all I care, you can believe little evil gremlins steal the air out of your tires when it gets cold. But that does not change the fact that tires leak air. And when I say 1-3 PSI a month that is based on a used tire that has been driven, flexing and the rubber is starting to show signs of age. Newer tires don't leak as much air because the rubber has not started to age and weaken from the constant flexing and exposure to the elements and UV rays. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
