I'm on 4s also.

Hi
Intrigued why you go up in pressure in cold. 32psi would be a different relative pressure depending on temperature as air density changes. I always inflate mine to 2.2 bar all round as per plate in car for whatever the temperature is outside.

I'm not an expert but I've noticed in my previous cars that in colder months my tire temperature isn't as high and my tire pressure doesn't increase as much. I should make a correctionto my previous post. During colder months, tire temps usually hover around 37psi. It rarely goes above 38 unless I'm driving for a long period of time. Also, in my area pot holes and cracks start to develop from the rain and the higher tire pressure helps with ride feel.
I pulled this from tire rack

Maybe I'm doing it wrong and open to suggestions but I was always taught this way.
