The 5 pieces of dust in the inside of the clock on the lens is more noticeable than 1-2 psi difference in tire pressure, especially with the darker clock face. I’m not staring at the psi gauge everytime I drive, I have it set to the hybrids system diagram. I look at overall tire pressure when there is a sustained significant change in temperature.

Just looking for opinions from fellow GS owners. Do you all adjust your tire inflation with the weather changes. As in winter time here in Florida, if it is in the low 50's in the morning, my tire pressures start out at 36. We have had a heat wave, so the morning pressures are now 38 or higher. Would you all release pressure to get down to 35ish, or just let it ride. I know, two lbs. probably doesn't matter, but just wondering how OCD everyone is given that Peasodos could not live with himself having 5 specs of dust in the clock

Tire pressure is what I leave my monitor on so I see it numerous times whenever I drive the car. I can detect a 2 psi difference in tire pressure.

All in your head from staring at the psi numbers all the time. No way you can really tell if the left front is 2 psi different from the right front.based on feel.

It would be a never ending battle to adjust or tweak tire pressure on random daily ambient temperature changes. It would be a fruitless endeavor.

Beginning in early fall when the typical daily temperature starts dropping I'll tweak 'up' in tire pressure to last a month or two, and then do it again as needed to keep the cold (garaged overnight) tire pressure from dropping below the minimum recommended air pressure. This may take 2-3 additional tweak 'ups' throughout the winter. As the weather warms chances are good that the last time the tires were tweaked 'up' will last well into the spring and summer because the warmer temperatures and sunnier days will naturally increase the tire pressure.

Whether I can feel 2 psi difference or not is beside the point. I do not want my tires inflated with different pressures on the left side compared to the right side. Maybe that's okay for you, but not for me...

I'm the same with the tire pressure. I've also set all 4 tires where all of them change to the same measurements within less than 1 minute or less while I'm driving the car. Unless of course the Sun is hitting on one side of the car only then that side is slightly higher.

Yep, that's what I like seeing too. I strongly suspect there's many of us types around!

I love it when they all change at the same exact time. Beautiful!
