    To add some numbers to what Harry so wisely warns us about, every 10 
degree F. drop in ambient temperature results in about a 1 psi drop in tire 
pressure.  So if you haven't checked your pressures since 80 degree weather and it's 
now below freezing, expect to see a considerable drop in pressures (around 5 
psi).
    Thanks, Harry, for the advisory.

As most of the country steps into winter, it's time to add air to all are

in temperature does to tire pressure.
