Time and Temperature Effect on Tire
The time and temperature has some effect on your car tire inflation pressure. It is believe that air inside a tire escapes when tire rubber stretches and to this the effect is that the tire loss approximately 1 psi every month. So, if you do not often check the inflation pressure of your tire then it will become underinflate in due time. Imagine if you do not check the pressure for a year then you are running your car with 12 psi under than the recommended inflation pressure by the car manufacturer.
Also when the outside temperature changes the tire inflation pressure also change, the changes on the inflation pressure comes in 1 psi for every plus or minus 10 °F. This mean that when you set your tire at 60 °F, then if the temperature drop to 20 °F the inflation pressure of your car tire will become underinflate with 4 psi below the pressure you set.
If both time and temperature fluctuate then there will be more loss to inflation pressure, therefore it is recommended that your frequently check the inflation pressure of your car tire. Having an incorrect inflation pressure will result to a problem on your tire such as uneven tire wear and will not maximize the life of the tire. It is recommended that the tire should be check regularly. A weekly checking is enough to detect any problem that occurs and can be repaired immediately.
The good time to check the inflation pressure is during morning before you drive your car to obtain a correct inflation pressure reading adjust the pressure if necessary to the standard pressure recommended by the car manufacturer.
