Tire Pressure Changing
Has anyone else experience their tire pressure changing.... I mean I can start out with 29psi showing on the monitor, Then after 15mins of driving they are at 34psi... I'm a little worry about filling them up to 36psi as recommended.. Any insight would be great.....

air expands based on temperature. its normal. if you don't want to deal with it, change to nitrogen

EDIT: The max pressure is about 50 PSI. If you fill to 36 when the tire is cold you'll have no problems. |

It IS normal for your tire pressure to increase as they warm up, the correct tire pressure is 36 PSI COLD, they will usually climb to about 39 PSI after driving a while. Nitrogen is more stable but it will also change a bit with temperature changes
