Not trying to be a smartass here, but 65 PSI is 65 PSI, regardless of the season. I keep the tires of my vehicles at a consistent pressure year-round. Now, if you're not in the habit of checking your tire pressure frequently, keep in mind that your pressure will change about one PSI for every 10º of temperature change. Also, there are those in the media that will say that you'll lose one PSI per month from normal leakage, but I haven't found that statement to be very accurate. I've had properly seated tires lose three pounds in a week, but then my folks have an '85 Grand Marquis that just last week I needed to add two PSI to the left-side tires....and those tires have been on the car since at LEAST 1999!
