Who checks their tyre pressures when the tyres are cold?
Who goes for a blat down to a service station and does them while they're hot?
Cold. Always. No question.
At the service station. I don't care where as long as there's air!
I get them done when they're new or get the garage to do them at service times.
Tyre pressures? What's that all about?

I have a compressor in the gargre, so I do them cold. Don't trust servo guages, either.

I do them AFTER filling up from a 1k away station..... they have cooled down all the way again.

Friggen digital ones are always +4psi out from using my analogue guage. Once on had a spaz and let most of my air out... 22psi in 36 front wheel is not good huh

Me: "...."
Tris: "FUCK"
Then the random dude on the vtr thinks it would be very impressive to do a wheelie well I would like to give him 2$ for being gay.

I do mine at home with a Michelin gauge that I've had calibrated.
I did read on a tyre manufacturers web site that you can ride a maximum of 6km from home to a servo at no greater than 50kph and you can treat the temperatures at the servo as cold. Anyone else heard about that one?
Geriatric hoon
I bought an inexpensive digital gauge then checked it against some calibrated gauges (tyre dealer and the bike shop)so I know the error and can allow for it.
Nearest gas station is maybe 400m away and a quiet ride there doesn't raise the temperature enough to be a problem.

Same here, do the tyres at home using an analogue gauge when cold. - Filled them up today before the ride, was 1 or 2 psi out on front and back.

Here for the arcade.
Might be a good idea if I actually checked them at all
I'd rather be thinking
The real problem is knowing which gauge to trust.
Maybe service stations could display a calibration certificate.
But then, why would they bother?

I check mine cold.
If I am out on a ride and I do pump up the tires at the petrol station, I add approx 4~6 PSI more than what I put in when cold. Eg 36psi cold + 4~6psi. I usually have to check it the next morning to make sure it is just right.
