• It is permissible to add 3psi to the standard tire pressure specification if colder temperatures are expected soon.

Tires typically loose 1psi for every 12°F temperature drop. If extreme temperature variations are expected, re-

check your tire pressure as necessary to keep them properly inflated.

• An air pressure generally decreases, as you drive up to a high-altitude area above sea level. Thus, if you plan to

drive a high-altitude area, check the tire pressures in advance. If necessary, inflate them to a proper level. (Air
