1) Do not exceed posted speed limits.
By cold tires is meant tires that are the same temperature as the
surrounding air temperature.
The values for tire pressure in the table above are for tires at 68°F
(20°C).
The tire pressure will increase as the tires become warm (e.g.
during motorway driving), and decrease as they cool.
When the temperature of the tires increase or decrease by
10 degrees the tire pressure will correspondingly increase or
decrease by 10 kPa/2 psi (0.1 bar).
