I have a 2010 Versa with nitrogen filled tires and the tire pressure light always turns on when the weather gets cold. It did it last year too and I took it to the dealership and they checked the pressure on the tire and added a little nitrogen and the light turned off and stayed off. Now mind you…

As long as the pressure is below the max pressure listed on the sidewall (but at or above the pressure listed on the car’s pressure lable) you shouldn’t have a blowout. Most all blowouts result from excessively worn tires and UNDER-inflated tires. Underinflation causes them to overheat and fail.

It won’t cause a blow-out…Under pressure is more likely to cause a blow-out then over-pressure. Too much over-pressure and you may experience a decrease in handling…but a couple of pounds over is fine.

The overheating problem really became apparent to me on some Discovery channel show, where a rig working in the winter on the north slope of Alaska had a blowout from an underinflated tire overheating.

Blowouts scare the dickens out of me…especially when driving 70 mph down the interstate. Happened to me once while driving my dad’s dodge truck with a horse trailer attached to it. Yeah that was fun. Hard part wasn’t changing the tire, but trying to get the spare out from under the truck bed. Th…

Apparently you do not have the owners manual for your Versa or you would have allready solved this simple “problem” yourself. From the owners manual for my wifes 09 Kia: Inflate any low tires to the correct pressure and drive a few miles. The system will reset itself & the light on the dash will t…

The dealership did that for me last year. They shot some nitrogen in the tires and drove it down the road and the light went off and stayed off…Also the light went off a few days ago when it warmed up little (in the 70’s) and then went back on when it got cold again. And now it stays on. Tomorrow…

Yeah my dad has a 2009 Dodge Pickup and he says it does the same thing as well.

I was driving a 2002 Windstar from my University’s fleet on my way back from a conference. We ran into a stretch of interstate that was down to one lane in our direction and the pavement had been milled. It was around 1 a.m. in the morning but the traffic was still heavy. The tire pressure light …

I have a friend that has a Ford Escape hybrid and has the same problem with the tire pressure light going on in cold weather. I have a Black and Decker air station that probably cost $35 to $40 that I use to maintain the air pressure in my tires. It’s easy to use. It does have a built in gauge, but I don’t think it is as accurate as a good $10 dial gauge that I have.
