CHECK YOUR TIRE PRESSURE!

You wanna know why the Northeast came in at the lowest for underinflated tires ? The crazy temps we have to deal with ! 4 seasons. 100 degrees to -10 degrees. That TPMS dash light gets some workout up here. Every single OC, TPMS lght or not, the tires are NEVER at their correct cold P.S.I. No matter what the season. If I do an OC in the summer, the pressure is up a few pounds, each wheel....In the winter, their down 15 pounds. In the fall or spring, maybe catch a break. It's never just an OC !!!!! The ball and chain is funny...." You still doin that stupid oil change ? " I just say...GO AWAY..... Get back upstairs from the garage and tell her " You want 15 min oil changes ?? Go to the Quickie Lube !!! " :)

That’s why I check my tire pressures about every two weeks. The temperature range here in Southern Ontario is quite different from month to month as well.
 
This is going to bug me until I check them. Door sticker says 35psi all around. Car is kept in a garage which is not climate controlled. In this part of Texas, that means it's either hot or hotter than heck.

I recently had a snow tire blow , up on the loft in my shed. It does get hot up there and the pressure must have rose significantly. There could have also been some sort of defect too. Better there than on my truck.
 
Man ! You dodged a bullet on that one ! I had a tire blow @ 70 mph. Thankfully, rear tire. But, what a mess it made of the wheel well and surrounding paint. Scary. My fault though. It was 2 yrs beyond it's lifespan, ( I dump all tires at 5-6 years ). I'll never make that mistake again. It was dry rotted :(
