No, it's means check them before u drive it not after. Your tires warm up from driving.

Umm...don't I just put more air on top of depressured air from the cold? it's just that air molecules are moving slower in colder temp...pv=nrt for ideal gas...there is no difference between summer air and winter air...maybe u meant something else...?

Tire pressure varies when warm +/- 4 to 6 PSI. So they say, the advice above is valid except the summer air one... hahaha

Check your tires when cold, like when you get up in the morning and before you go driving...

that sounds great cuz i know from chem class that nitrogen is not an ideal gas, hence not a big fluctuation in pressure due to temp change right?....what does NTB stand for again? and how much does it cost?
