Example: If garage tem peratu re = 68° F (20° C) and the
outsid e tem peratu re = 32° F (0° C) then the cold tire
inflation pressu re shou ld be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa),
which equ als 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12° F (7° C) for this
outsid e tem peratu re cond ition.
CAUTION!

TirePressuresforHighSpeedOperation
The manu factu rer advocates driving at safe speed s
within posted speed limits. Where speed limits or cond i-
tions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high
speed s, maintaining correct tire inflation pressu re is very
important. Increased tire pressu re and red uced vehicle
load ing may be requ ired for high speed vehicle opera-
tion. Refer to original equ ipment or an authorized tire
dealer for recom mend ed safe operating speed s, load ing

Check tire pressu res more often if subject to a wide range
of outdoor tem peratu res, as tire pressu res vary with
tem peratu re changes.
Tire pressu res change by approxim ately 1 psi (7 kPa) per
12
° F (7° C) of air tem peratu re change. Keep this in mind
when checking tire pressu re insid e a garage, especially in
the winter.
