Cold weather may trigger low tire pressure alerts

As colder weather sets in, drivers might notice new alerts on their dashboards during their morning commute.

Some of these alerts indicate low tire pressure, as colder temperatures can change the air pressure in tires.

For some, this change is just a small drop, but for others, it can be more noticeable.

Drivers are advised to give themselves extra time before heading to work in case air needs to be added to their tires.
