Also, on as a side question since I don't want to make a separate thread for this... Is it just me or do winter tires look ever so slightly flat even though there is the correct amount of air in it? Because I just filled up my winter wheels up to 37 PSI (35 recommended) and they still look slightly flat or not enough air in them.

You sure the moisture isn't just coming out of your compressor? If it hasn't been drained in a while it will spit it out like mad. Just let them sit and dry for a day and then bag them.

They are a much softer tire so when it gets cold they don't turn into hockey pucks so yes they can look low when it is warm out. Some do need more pressure though so I would take them almost to the max printed on the tire even if it is more than the 37.
