I noticed in Richard's running report that his new tyre pressure monitoring system shows that the pressures are 3psi lower at 2 to 3 degrees than at 20 degrees.
So, would this suggest that we should probably all be filling our tyres to 3psi below the recommended levels when filling them at cold at the moment? That means I would be going for 33psi rather than 36psi.
It has been very interesting to see what is happening to the pressures and temperatures, especially in this cold weather, as the tyres warm up. It has made it easy to get the pressures absolutely spot on, being able to set the pressures once the tyres are at 20 degrees C "" the recommended temperature. As you can see from the display, this works out about 3psi lower when the temperature is 2-3 degrees.
