Inflating tyres in winter Back to "Advice from Bibendum"
When it's cold, tyre pressure registered on a pressure guage can seem lower than it really is.
For example, if a tyre is inflated to 2 bars at an ambient temperature of 20°, the pressure can read 1.9 bars on a manometer in an ambient temperature of 8°C.

This phenomenon can be misleading, and does not necessarily indicate that the tyre is under-inflated. It is not therefore worth inflating your tyres more in winter.
