Hmm. This morning I checked my tires when the car seemed sluggish, and i was a few pounds low on the right front tire. (This is judging by the little tire minder--all of yellow ring showing)
Since I was late for a meeting, I just decided to fill the tire on the way home. Temp was about 55F.
On the way home, I decided I didn't want to put air in the tire in a skirt, heels, and hose, so I just drove straight home to change. When I looked at the tire, it was green again! Temp was about 75F.
Would temperature really make that much of a difference? It seems unlikely to me, but I'm still an Insight newbie.
Also, during all this tire scrutiny, i noticed the outer ring of my tread is really worn. Is that a normal function of running our tires at a higher pressure? (40psi for me).
Hmm, indeed.
