If you are setting them at 40 and the air hasn't even been hot and expanded you risk blowing out that tire on the freeway.

It was about 75 yesterday I figured it was warm enough. I guess I will let some air out later haha

Hot doesn't equal ambient temperature. The temperature created from friction from the tires being used.

Listen to your door jam and run 30PSI

Hi Tyler. I had the same issue's over a week ago with my 2006. It was a very HOT afternoon. And we've been out most of the day. When my dash started actting up. I pulled over into a gas station and checked the psi. WOW!! I lowered it to 32 and it was a lot better. Plus the more air pressure you have. The harder the ride. The next morning I rechecked them all and reset all. Been good ever since. Live & learn right ?
