Checked my tire pressure. I set them to 44 up in NY this winter on a warm (for winter) day. Checked in Florida when its high 80's temp and pressure is up to 55 psi. LT tires so can handle it but not right profile for tread wear. Lowered to 48 psi.

Tires went from 44 to 55 psi just by driving south?

I guess I need to check and adjust my pressure when I drive to a new area with big temp change .. How many people do that?

Generally speaking, it's 1-2 PSI for every 10F degrees. Beyond that, I would suspect a problem with the gauge.

Looks like mine, but I only drove through the yard. :p I've been hauling stuff and storing in the basement, which can be accessed easily via the backyard. The recent rain has made our already wet property a mud pit though. Even with 4WD, you have to keep your momentum going or you'll get stuck (with highway tires anyway).

Yup I live in North Georgia and it's been raining 2 days stopped today.
Got bored so nothing better than some cold beers and a Mudd hole to get the mood right [emoji106]
