I'm running 24 psi all round and normally check these when tyres are cold. Is this reasonable, given that at proper driving temperature this means I'm probably running 25/26 psi? What do others do?

I always thought that pressures should be taken when cold. Although always wondered the difference in these v cold conditions, and whether pressures should be adjusted, because I would imagine the tyres dont get as warm.

I tend to check them cold, as normally you want to know they are ok before a run, not after.
