However, my situation is somewhat unique since the temperature change across seasons is very severe in my area (California High Desert - 110 F summer highs, 20 F winter lows). Obviously, as it warms up from the winter, I need to do the opposite and start letting air out.
In the end, the moral is to be diligent about maintaining your car no matter what the season is.

agreed there are a lot of variables that come into play but as a rule of thumb in "normal" temperature ranges, you probably just need to put some air in the tires and move on.
