question about Tire Pressure Monitoring System

hey everyone I was just wondering if you check it very often while driving, and what your normal readouts were. I was just curious because today my back right tire seemed kinda high, normally my front left and back right match and my front right and back left match. I'm gonna read my book to see what it normally is. Any input would be appreciated

Supposed to be 36psi. Temperature makes a difference, and makes the numbers fluctuate at little bit.

thank you for writing, all of them should be 36? cause today the front two were 36/37 and the back ones were 38/39, sometimes i've seen it go as high as 40 i believe.

Right, they change. Temperature makes a difference. Driving makes the air temperature rise sometimes. I just checked the owners manual...

Check the tire’s inflation pressure when the tires are cold. Cold means
your vehicle has been sitting for at least three hours or driven no more than 1 mile (1.6 km).
So check them tomorrow morning and let us know what they say then!

i went in this morning and had them all checked and they were at like 30, the guy put 35 in (on the inside of the door it said 35 on mine) and all but the back right tire stayed close to the same, but the back right was like 3-4 psi higher
also this is embarassing but today i was tryin to find a parking space in this cramped *** parking garage and caught a curb a little bit. I kept checking the pressure on that tire with the TPMS and it seemed okay but when i had some rims a friend gave me they had ading from hittin a curb and it didnt seal properly so the tire would not hold air, and my question is if it didnt lose anything according to the TPMS do you think it should still be okay? i could post pics if that would help

if its not losing air, thats a good thing. but beingthat you curbed the wheel, thats a bad thing.
