What are the cold tyre pressures for your Varadero, will you be compensating for the ambient temperature and tyre warming up with use.

I hope that this discussion is helping to answer the questions Our Gee has asked.

Many thanks for all the answers, unfortunately David, it all seems a bit technical for my level of science and physics. I always did understand that pressures do increase with the rolling resistance of the tyre, it's where the Ambient temperature at inflation time comes into the equation that I get lost.
So then, to make it simple I've just been outside, gave each Tyre a three second "Hiss" and ran the car around the block and it now feels smashing.
Thanks again and Happy Christmas.
