Tire PSI in cold weather
rob, if that's your main concern then take your car out and drive around for about 10-15 minutes then stop off by an air hose and check your tire pressures, that way your tires are already as warm as they are going to get so you know where they need to be.
@spaz: maybe you brake really quickly... thus people rear-end you more often....
@rob: when it gets colder outside the air inside your tires contracts, and the PSI reduces, and you need to add more air.
the reverse happens when the weather gets warmer. The air in the tire expands, and it gets a little too much PSI in it, and you need to let some out.
I wouldnt worry about exploding your tire from too much air. A high PSI might hurt your tire wear, and a low PSI might hurt your mileage... but unless you put like 60 PSI in the tire it wont explode. Even then...

nafango2, no that's not my problem.... I'm at a complete stop for a few minutes before these tards run into me... it's no where in any way my fault if i'm at a complete stand-still waiting for a line of 40+ cars to move in traffic.. these people are just idiots.
