Reply to comment by dbradx in ELI5: why does tire pressure decrease in the cold? by xYoSoYx
Ahh okay. So they don’t just slow down and give less pressure - they actually condense into water, and give no pressure at all then?
I don’t think I ever would’ve thought of them turning to water.
Follow up - if you’re interested - how does this affect the pressure of the tire if you fill it up in the winter, and then it gets warmer out? Wouldn’t that make the psi too high?
