I wonder if you filled your tires in Alaska on a -25 degree day and drove to Florida into an 85 degree day how much higher you pressures yould be?
Funny thing about 85 degree weather with the sun out. Actual road temps can be pushing 200 degrees on black asphault. How does that figure into air psi temps... Probably pushes 35psi tire way above 40psi...

Bottom line has to be tires have a wider range psi wise to run right than we think...?
