Hi all,
I have searched this forum for a tire pressure issue that i had this morning, but I was unable to find one that was just like my case, so I decided to make a post in hope that someone can clear up my confusion.
This morning, after driving about a 1/2 mile my tire pressure alert sound went off. I stop and check the tire monitor system, and all the tires read 26 or 27. I make my way to my local STS which is maybe less than 5 miles away (driving maybe 40+ mph at most). At that point, the tire monitor system reads 27 or 28 for all the tires. I tell the STS guy that the pressures should read about 32, asking him to adjust them (I find out now that they should have been a little higher since they should read 32 cold?) I am then told that all of the tire pressures read exactly 32. The guy tells me that it may be as a result of one of the coldest mornings we had here in NJ this season (maybe high 30s), and to just keep an eye on it.
I was just curious whether you all have had the same experience of the tire pressure monitoring system showing a lower pressure than the actual manually measured tire pressure. If so, what did you do about it?
I plan to take this car on a 12 hour road trip next week, so would like any issues dealt with before i leave. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
