tire pressure during cold nights

so ive been noticing on cold nights, my tires pressure is dropping so im getting the tire pressure warning next morning, but after a little driving pressure goes back up. my question is should i be adding more air so it wont loose much pressure during cold nights? or is it fine? lol just trying to find out for future refrence and just being cautious lol

Always check your tire pressure when cold, so if it's too low at start up and you are getting the warning, add more air.

I have this problem as well, more on the driver-side front tire. what I did was tighten up the valve a bit and it has not dropped as much as before. I'm not sure if I cured the problem yet, but I will find out soon.

I think the tire warning comes on at below 30 psi, you should be at 34-36 psi cold and tire pressure shouldn't go down to below 30 psi. I used to run 40 psi on my stock rims and tires to get better mileage.

Mine triggers below 28psi. Recommended pressures are when cold. Add air to your tires.

This just happened to me tonight (for the first time). I'll be adding air tomorrow.

Base TL: 33psi/32psi, F/R.
Type-S: 35psi/32psi, F/R.

*These are cold psi recommendations per Acura.

What would be the tire pressure recommendation for Bridgestone 235/35R19?

I tried checking on the Bridgestone website but was not successful. The tire says, see owner's manual. My future father in law (a mechanic) suggested that the low profile tires may need more pressure than stock. Right now I have the fronts as 37 psi cold and the rears at 35 psi cold, but the ride seems a bit stiff, so any suggestions?

Hate to tell you, but your future FIL is right-- the recommended pressure for the OEM tires on the 18" A-Spec wheels was 39F/36R, so you're looking at an even higher pressure than what you have now.
Unfortunately, the stiffer, lower sidewalls will mean a stiffer ride.
