Hi Robert,

Throughout winter my 2018 Nissan Rogue's tire pressure monitoring light has been turning on. It seems like the rubber has deflated but not by much. My father said itâ€™s due to the cold weather: is he correct?

Thanks,
Michael

Hi, Michael!

Cold weather can cause your 2018 Nissan Rogueâ€™s tires to deflate; with the way you have described it, this sounds like it's the most likely cause.

Regular tires will drop by about 1 PSI for every 10 degrees Fahrenheit the outside air temperature decreases.

So, if youâ€™ve just done a relatively long drive or itâ€™s a warm day when you pump some air in your rubber, you will lose a few PSI as the temperature drops on these wintery nights. This can definitely be enough to trigger your low tire pressure warning light.

Likewise, your tires will inflate by about 1 PSI for every 10 degrees Fahrenheit the temperature goes up. So you may see that warning light switch off throughout the day if your car is out in the sunlight.

Thanks for the question, Michael! Don't hesitate to contact Kirkland Nissan, Washington if you need anything else.
