Just a friendly reminder: Especially now with the temperatures dropping, your tires are likely low. Check them and pump them up.
All eight of mine were about 10 lb low. I haven't checked in a while, and the weather changed. For months it's been high / low of 100F / 80F, then dropped to 80F / 50F almost overnight. Four tires are back up now, the other four I'll take care of tonight.

I have noticed one of my tires is losing air and was going to check them just today. Thanks for the reminder Andrew.

I second this. My car felt a little squirrely the one day. Didn't think much of it. I was checking someone else's tires, and checked one of mine quick, saw I was 10 lbs low(er) than my normal as well.

Ah yes, I intend to pump them up at the weekend but I forgot to add it to the to-do list.
Just checked mine on Friday and they were down a few psi. The car just wasn't coasting as well as it should have. Thanks for the heads up to remind our readers to check their pressures.

I'll fill mine today or tomorrow when I fill up the fuel tank. Good reminder, particularly now that the weather has changed!

Mine were down about 8 PSI across the board. A bit surprising, given our mild weather. But it was pretty close to even across the board.

I checked after the weather became cool and rainy again - it was a bit down, hardly over BMW recommended. Upped to sidewall max again.

Winter is approaching. Here in Colorado our morning temps will soon be getting into the 20s with afternoon highs reaching 60-70. My tires were down a few pounds from max sidewall psi.

Pumped up the wife's commuter's tires to 41/39 this morning. Pressures were all over the place.
Hi All:
Bump because it is always a good thing :)

Mine were 5 PSI low last night. I hadn't checked them in a while.

I re-filled mine on Sunday. I noticed a difference in them...but when I checked it was 2 PSI.
You know you're a hypermiler when......you can tell a 2 PSI drop in your tires.
