    I find that as long as your wheels aren't corroded and/or damaged you you just hit a new baseline when the temps drop. Like if you were running 35 PSI when it was 70° out once you get down to zero degrees you might be down at like 27 PSI but then once you inflate it back to 35 it should stay pretty close

    We had a few cold nights recently (cold for this time of year that is). Daytime temps in 70's, but temps dropped to 40's at night. My normal cold psi dropped from 34 to 30. But like you, it all went back to normal after a couple of warm days and warmer nights.

    This is also true. Those first big temp drops have a big effect.

    I too grew up in central New York and Wisconsin. I can tell you that a soft tire in a cold snap or in slushy snow is bad news bears. It’s better to have your pressures right and all tracking well to avoid cold related car failures. Frozen fingers changing wet or frozen tires on the side of the road is no fun.

    So we recently had a temp drop at night. Averaging 70’s day and upper 40’s at night. I’m going to start monitoring my psi and see if there’s significant change. I usually run 31 cold. I’ve also found, for conversation sake, last winter a handful of miles of my commute will raise the psi a little. So there’s that variable to contemplate

    So of the last three bundles of sawzall blades I have gotten 8/10 of them are metal cutting. Which isn’t a big deal but I need wood demolition blades now and I have the question are the wood embedded nail 5tpi better for mostly wood or are the 7-9tpi multi material better for all around use?

    Also field service note both myself and my colleague who regularly use our m12 hackzal have been running into issues with the chuck release. Today I applied a few bursts of wd-40 and back to brand new. That was a close one. It’s easily the 3rd most used tool in my bag. Would have been sad to see that go in for repair.

    after seeing the performance differences, it's definitely my future upgrade path as well.

    for now i just need to find that walking money tree i thought i had tied up in my back yard...

    Once a tire is inflated at 70°F, its pressure will drop by 1% for approximately every 5°F temperature drop. You will see a 10% pressure drop at 19°F.

    Just the basics
    What effect does altitude have on tire pressure? Most certainly varies with temperatures too.

    I've had my tires drop from 36 to 30 overnight the first cold snap. I swear some tires tolerate it more than others. The temp fluctuations this time of year I'm always dragging my hose out! :annoyed:

    I've got this bad boi and it's the deal. I travel with it on road trips. Perfect for fluctuations in tire pressure and you don't have to deal with a hose.

    It's digital and it will do its own temp regulation. It'll inflate to the set pressure, monitor it for a couple seconds, and then readjust.

    I'm spoiled with the Tundra displaying the actual PSI. I have to guess with the Tacoma.

    First World problems...

    Between sea level and 10k ft elevation, atmospheric pressure varies by ~3% per thousand feet change in height. Up at 20k to 30k feet the variation is about half that. The change isn't linear because increasing density drives more increasing density as one decends so the height vs. pressure relarionship is exponential (processes where a change in something drives more change so the change isn't constant i.e. linear).

    However the majority of the force that balances the internal tire pressure comes from the elasticity of the tire and internal cords, so only a fraction of the internal pressure balancing force would come from the atmosphere. To find out what fraction, you'd have to test the tire hydrostatically like how pressure tanks are tested every few years. Just an order of magnitude guess is elevation probably gives maybe a 1 percemt change in tire pressure per 10k feet and more expensive tires would have less of an effect based on better reinforcement.

    I'm not a tire guy but have worked on things like tubeless mtb rims and pressure vessels which have similar considerations.

    Going from 1000 msl to 6000 msl is around a 5 psi increase for my tires. Driving from Nebraska to the front range in CO, I always have to let air out of my tires.

    I got the same one. It’s pretty accurate and a nice plug and play ordeal.

    LED interior, license plate, and fog lights. More to come.
    Same here. Very handy to have. No running the compressor and dragging out an air hose or running around the car with a cord from the cigarette lighter.

    I have a stupid question. I want to make sure this is the right line for my trimmer?
    My wife got the trimmer for me as a gift for Father’s Day, so I can’t see which one on the app
