My nearest service station is 15 minutes away - how do I check my tyres when they're cold?
I live in a country village and my nearest service station is about 15 minutes drive away. I find it almost impossible to check my tyre pressure when the tyres are cold (which is what I have been recommended). Should I compensate with the pressure and, if so, how?

15 minutes drive will heat the tyres sufficiently to increase pressures by about 1 PSI. 100 miles will increase them by 2 PSI. 200 miles will increase them by 3 PSI, after which the heat in the tyres and the pressures will not normally increase any further.
