Pressure at temperature T (where T is operating temp) is the most important aspect for a tire - not temp, mass or volume, though of course each one is dependent on the others. Since you're supposed to take tire pressures cold, there's a delta-T: operating temps - cold temps. Does that delta-T change with the ambient temperature? Experience says no, but exactly how much does it change?
