Hi all,

Have googled this but not had any specific figures.

What difference in tyre pressure (psi) would you expect to see between a hot and cold tyre? So say if inflated to 32psi when warm what would be the minimum you would expect to see when stone cold?

Many thanks,

Ben

How hot is hot?

I have seen tyres on my 328i go from 30psi cold to 38psi hot (i.e. after being on track for 20 mins).

Going from being driven on a warm day to sat there on a cold evening.

I suspect I might have a slow puncture, however no tyre centres round here have an immersion bath/tank to check.

Think I lost 5 psi.
