I got my evo in July with all 4 tires set at 35 psi. They held steady at 35 throughout the summer. Now the vicious northern california winter dropped the temperature down to around 65/40 and the tire pressure dropped to about 32psi for all 4 tires a few weeks ago and 31-30 today...

Is this just a result of temperature change or do I have a 4 bent rims/4 nails in tires

thanks!

PS. All measurements taken with cold tires.

The colder it gets the more the pressure will drop in your tires, this is normal.

Its all good ,cold = less

I noticed the same thing, and I live in LA. The right rear tire was down to 27psi.

Just a suggestion....the manufacturer's recommended inflation pressure is posted on a sticker in the driver's door jamb:

Front = 32psi
Rear = 29psi

Now this can be discussed to death depending on what you need out of your car. But, for daily driving and stock performance on handling, these pressures are recomended by Mitsubishi.

Don't forget this is for the stock Yoko's only. Once you get a different brand/style of tires the 'recommended' pressures are out the door.

I did my tire rotation yesterday and found that both rear tires had nails in them. That's what probably caused the tire pressure loss. Check your tires if you get the chance.

Ouch, sorry about your rears.

I just went out and checked the tires, holding steady at 30-31psi. With ambient temperture holding steady for the last week, I guess the weather was the cause after all.
