Winter tire pressure in Florida
−2 PSI
typical drop from July to January
The average temperature in Florida goes from about 83 °F in July to 59 °F in January. Tire pressure falls roughly 1 PSI for every 10 °F, so a tire set to 35 PSI on a summer afternoon reads about 33 PSI on an average winter morning.
That is not enough to trigger the warning light on its own, but it adds up with the 1 to 2 PSI every tire loses per month. Check your pressure monthly.

Where can I check my tire pressure for free in Florida?
Tire shops are the easiest option: Mavis Discount Tire (132 locations) and Discount Tire (50 locations) check and fill tires for free during business hours, no purchase needed.
How much does tire pressure drop in winter in Florida?
