Why? I'm just curious since it is only happening on very cold mornings.
The tires are supposed to be at 32 PSI, I keep them there but on colder
mornings it seems to drop on the fronts. I've increased the pressure beyond
32 PSI to account for that but want to know if it's better for the car to
leave them as is and let them warm up a bit on colder mornings.
