OK, here's a thought I've had a time or two. The way my trailer sits in my yard one side gets sun most of the day and the other side never gets sun. The sun side tires are usually a few to several psi higher than the non-sun side. I have to go out around 6AM to check them if I want to avoid the sun heating the tires, usually not on my schedule. Otherwise I have to wait for the sun to go behind the trees 600 yards away and then wait for the tires to cool, which could be after dark. So if I air both sides to max sidewall psi when one side is hotter/higher than the other, pull out of my driveway, go down the road a bit, and the sun is in my face, behind me or it's shady, the once sun side tires are now several psi higher than the non-sun side tires because neither are "sun side" now. So now the once sun side tires have cooled off since I pulled out of the driveway and are now several psi "underinflated". Do I stop and put a few more psi in them???
