Cold temps got your tire light on?

Tire pressure can naturally drop by about 1 PSI for every 10° decrease in outside temperature, not because of a leak, but because colder air causes the air inside your tires to condense. This is especially common during seasonal temperature changes or sudden cold snaps. While normal driving can warm the tires and slightly increase pressure, the warning light may stay on if the pressure is still below the recommended level. Driving with low tire pressure can reduce handling, affect braking performance, and lead to uneven tire wear. For your safety and peace of mind, it’s a good idea to stop by for a quick pressure check and adjustment. Properly inflated tires help ensure a smoother ride, better fuel efficiency, and confident driving in any conditions.
