[jostheboss]

When it's cold, do other people get this message? But above 5°c it's ok?

 

[henderson]

never had any messages,where do they flag up?

 

[jostheboss]

I had all news tyres, so went to renault to disable it when had my car for service.

I get that a lot when it cold.

I pump it up, then week later it come back on again!

The tyre pressure will always be less when cold. Thats why you should run slightly lower pressures on track days cos as the trye temp increases so does the air inside the tyre and subsequently the pressure. Really wouldnt worry about it unless the message annoys that much!

 

[jostheboss]

Oh I know all that, it just annoys me!! And why doesn't the tpms take into account ambient temp....

are you sure mate,i watched an old 5th gear on tv the other day and tiff needall was giving tips on setting road cars up for trackdays,he was in a audi S3 and he said to increase the tyre pressures by 5-6psi,wish i'd known this before a recent track day

Do not increase your pressures, I think you might of heard TN wrong or he meant they can increase 5-6 psi.

Set them to around 28psi cold, after your first session or 5 mins when the tyres are warm set them to around 30psi.

[jostheboss]

30psi hot - if you want to be slow!!!

Or you're doing Britcar, but for short runs I'd run them a little higher 36 front 40 rear to get some temperature in them nice and early.

Im at work so I can't watch youtube videos I've never heard of inflating tyres but I run semi-slicks. Can't understand why it would be done but every day is a school day!

Search for lacky50 on youtube and watch a few of my videos.
