But this is proving my point....
Why do you want it to be 35?35 is what I want my target to be
"The tires should be set cold because manufacturersare aware of the fact that the pressure increases while in use."There are exactly zero people saying the tire pressure doesn't increase as the tires warm. The tires should be set cold because manufacturers are aware of the fact that the pressure increases while in use. They really do mean the words they say, set to recommended pressure while cold. Then, almost as if by magic, the tires will increase to the intended pressure while in use. Setting cold allows for a true baseline instead of needing a thermometer inside each tire to calculate the differential which needs to be applied for that temperature while inflating.
This is really simple. Every. Single. Tire. Manufacturer. Says. To. Set. Pressure. Cold.
Cold is defined by the tire manufacturers AND the vehicle owner's manual with every vehicle on the market.
Because they know the pressure will increase. If the door says 36psi, they intend for it to run at the slightly higher level as it warms. This isn't difficult... Again, unless you have a way to determine the differential, you have no way to actually determine the correct pressure except trial and error. Hence, tire and auto manufacturers came up with a simple, repeatable method for setting tire pressure. Set cold to recommended pressure, tire then runs as intended."The tires should be set cold because manufacturersare aware of the fact that the pressure increases while in use."
This is my point @Dan S
So why would one set there target psi while the tire is cold...if they know the pressure will increase once warm above what they set it at cold????
Let's make this simpleBecause they know the pressure will increase. If the door says 36psi, they intend for it to run at the slightly higher level as it warms. This isn't difficult...

If you want your tire pressure to be 35 while driving then you should set your tire pressure after the tires have reach that operating temperature. That's not spec, that's your preference.Let's make this simple
If I want a target psi of 35 while driving
What psi do you say I should set my tires at cold??
THAT IS WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING THIS WHOLE TIMEIf you want your tire pressure to be 35 while driving then you should set your tire pressure after the tires have reach that operating temperature. That's not spec, that's your preference.
THAT IS WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING THIS WHOLE TIME
I suggest you read the thread from the very beginning
Its everyone else who's saying "set it at cold"
They misunderstanding the "manufacturers" instruction
I've been following along from the beginning. Everyone else is saying that vehicle tire pressures are spec'd (and set) cold. Your point (I think) is that the most consistent way to set the tire pressure you want is to do it under the conditions that you use the vehicle. You'll find more people that align with you at the race track.THAT IS WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING THIS WHOLE TIME

They dont get it
Looks like I missed an edit. The manufacturers are very clear. PSI is set cold. That may not always be ideal but that is the spec.They misunderstanding the "manufacturers" instruction
I'm not talking about mfgs instructions, what does that have to do with target psi???You obviously missed his last sentence... And you are choosing to misinterpret the manufacturers' instructions. They couldn't be more clear.
Wow this guy gets it thank youWow this has gotten deep lol I am gonna throw this out my catch can averages my tire pressure so it's the same hot or cold I use a a tire gage and still playing with pressure to get best ride currently at 29 psi COLD and warm by cluster around 31-33
