Waiting for tires to cool down...

I just drove back from school, god damn midterm today, and I wanted to know how long i should wait before I read my tire pressure. Is an hour or two enough to make the tire pressure read most accurately? I'm gonna go chop my antenna to about 8"-12" now in the mean time, while I wait for my tires to cool. At City Mill I picked up a "Screw Protector", which fits almost perfectly onthe end of my antenna. It looks kind of like a walkie talkie antenna stub, pretty nice. Hell....$0.15 only. hehe

Alright, so to answer my own post, it takes about 1.5 to 2 hours for stock tires to cool down. The difference in warmed-up vs cool psi was about a +1 to +1.5 psi difference, which is somewhat significant I suppose. Just wanted to follow-up on this for reference, in case anybody else asks this in the future.
