My TL type s tire pressure is 37 all around the car. I'm aware the front tire should have more air than the rear tires. What should the tire pressure measurement be? I noticed the pressure fluctuates depending the outside temp. LAtely the temps been in btwn 60s to 70s in ny. Should i put more air in the front and make it 39 and 37 in the rear?

You can find this information in the manual or on the drivers side door frame underneath the striker. The front tire should have 35psi and the rear 32psi. I think the manual says for a more performance oriented ride you can run 38 in the front and 35 in the rear but I would check the manual. Since the seasons are changing and its cooler at nights then the day time I run 36-37 front 32-35 rear untill the weather settles for the season.

I meant 34-35 psi in the rear until the weather settles in for the season.

when i had my car dropped off at the dealer, the tech guy was telling me that the tire psi should be even all around, not 37 in the front and 34 in the back. But our manual says that the front two should have 3 psi higher than the rear. So what the heck is the tech guy telling me.?

He's telling you wrong. Why would you think a dealer tech would be all that knowledgeable about cars?

You should set your tire pressure to what the sticker on the inside of the driver's door jam tells you. Best time and way to do this is in the morning after your car has sat over night. If you have a garage, so much the better. If you park in a driveway, do this before sun up since the sun will warm the tires and force an inaccurate reading. Or you could wait about three hours after sundown, take your readings and note them, then the next morning, just use those readings to add air.
