What do other Pathy owners do about this situation? When it gets cold the tire lose a little air, when it's warmer the tires' reinflate. I know it is shrinkage and expansion of air but do others fill to recommendation or wait for warmer weather.

i check my tires hot, as that is the temp i will be driving at (after about 5 mins from a cold start)..... you don't want to air your tires up cold to the maximum (or even close to max) then they get hot and you are over inflated....... the pressure can change from cold to hot up to 5lbs......

 

i never run max pressures.. usually 3-5 under.

 

if you are constantly driving on snow and want grip. say 10 under.

 

obviously, the more inflated your tires, better the gas mileage. but don't over do it.

 

and everything trail chaser said too! :)
