Two Reminders Regarding Tire Pressure
Here are a couple of tips regarding your tire pressures.
First, check the pressure in your spare tire! It's supposed to be 60 psi. I'm sure a lot of folks haven't checked it in a while. You don't want to wait until you need it to find out that it's underinflated or flat.
Second, this is the time of year when the weather is cooling off. That means that it's the most important time of year to adjust your tire pressures. Pressure drops by about 1 psi for each 10 degrees F drop in temperature. That means that if you checked your tires when the highs were 85, and now they're 65, you will have lost 2 psi just due to the cooling off after summer. Measure them when cold (when the car has been sitting a while, out of the sun) when the temperature is about the same as when you usually drive.
Let's roll!

The recommended tire pressures for the ITR are 35 front, 33 rear.
Tires can lose 1 psi per month, even without any leaks. You really ought to check tire pressures at least once a month.

on the reminder for those with actual spares though, I have made the mistake of not checking and getting a flat. F@!$##$#CK!
