That is pretty funny, I've been meaning to get on here to ask a similar
question. I've had my '06 TL since Feb (no pressure problems then) and
since it's dropped into the thirties this week in CT my check tire pressure
light has been on also. Have you checked your pressure? You can do that
right on the dash. My two fronts were down to 28-29 PSI when I'd start it
cold. After a little driving they warm up and the pressure goes up turning
off the light. I went ahead and added a few psi and the light hasn't
bothered me but now after driving the pressure goes up to about 37 PSI. My
question is am I better off just dealing with light or keeping the pressure
up there a bit?
