My tyre pressure warning light has come on a couple of times over this winter.  I then checked the pressures and they were perfectly normal.  I put it down to the cold weather!

For every 10°C difference in temperature, the inflation pressure changes by approximately 0.1 bar.

Most vehicle and/or tyre manufacturers generally recommend you add 0.2 bar during winter.
