[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1190921, member: 19880"] Tire pressure is the absolute pressure minus the ambient (barometric pressure). Even a MAJOR weather change does not change the ambient pressure enough to make a significant difference in the pressure you measure using a tire gauge. On the other hand, a big temperature swing can make a measureable difference as can a significant altitude change. Regarding the FJR rims, I have had times when tires have lost pressure significantly over the space of a week or so. Other tire changes when I have essentially run the tire to the end of its life without having to add air. Usually depends on the condition of the Schrader valve and how carefully I prep the rims before I install. [/QUOTE]
