Re: [Healeys] Conclave tire pressure change

[Richard Collins via Healeys <healeys@autox.team.net>]

Au contraire:
Temperature has a lot to do with it:
When I run my car (not the Healey), depending on track temperature and speed my 
tires will gain 4 to 10 lbs of air pressure per session but not necessarily 
equally dependent on the road course and corners.
