Tire Pressure: What Constitutes "Cold Tire Pressure?"

For example, I park in a garage but it still gets to about 90F before 10AM in the morning. Is that still considered "cold" tire pressure?

Is the garage air-conditioned?

If it's 90 degrees ambient air temp at 10 am, that's how you check tire pressure. TP increases about one PSI per 10 degrees ambient air temp increase.

Boy they need to bring auto shop back to high school to educate these young men on simple automotive stuff , because then you would know what it means when it says to check vehicle tires when cold.

I even remember when drivers kicked their tires to see if they were up.

What if it's driven less than 3 miles by a private investigator in Hawaii?

Don't go off on me. It is NOT hard to understand. I explained it in simple terms.
