Tire Pressure Alert (temp drop?)

Anyone else getting tire pressure alerts lately with the temperatures beginning to fall lower? Mine bleeped at my yesterday morning, after having not driven the coupe for 3 days. Had to air up all four.

Yep - experienced the exact same thing. How much were your tires off?

Good to keep in mind. But I think over the 4 months that I've had the car the bumps and travels must've contributed to more than a few pounds out of the tires. Had to add about 8 lbs all the way around.

Mine had the long and scary low pressure too... should I air it up or just let it be? I checked pressure and it was around 35PSI for all of them...

LOL ME2...I thought something was wrong with my stereo at first. Good to have the alert though, especially with the 19's. Don't want to biff another rim!

Went off a couple weeks ago...checked the tires, and added a bit of air...I think this is a pretty common occurance with the colder weather...

Check the pressures regularly guys and gals.....with season changes, comes bug temp variations meaning big fluctuations in tire pressures.
It's worth it in the long run because good gas mileage and tire mileage is dependent on proper air pressure.

Had a problem with my loaner. Whenever it dropped below 66 degrees, the warning light would come on. I learned to ignore it.
