Tire Pressure of 36/44 PSI too high?
I also noticed the TPMs reads quite low compared to my gauges. I double checked the reading using two different good quality gauges this morning and both read 33F/39R cold. Then when the reading come on, TPMS only showed 29F/35R, off by 4 PSI both F and R. Do your TPMS readings agree w/ your tire gauges?
If yours are minus 4 both F & R, then either your tire gauge is off, or the 4 TPMS sensors are off. Since it's statistically unlikely for the each of the monitor to be off by such similar large amounts (assuming that the rest of the system is fine -- very likely?), I would guess/speculate your tire gauge is off. Just guessing and if I don't make any sense at all, I understand.


Tiago,
See Doug's response (TT Gasman) above regarding tire pressure at the track. Or PM him.

Using a reference level tire gauge http://www.longacreracing.com/catalo...id=982&catid=8 , my TPMS system consistently reads about 1 lower. One could argue I then should set the differential reading to be minus 1; and that's what I do, roughly, between 0 and minus 1.

I will start with 30-36 cold, and then after each session, i will monitoring the pressures till it reach the maximum of 36-44 on track, as Doug advice. After the trackday, I will post here the cold pressure to reach that goal on track.
