Temperature drop, tire pressure check!
Just a reminder everyone, daylight savings time changeover and also it's cold, your tires have probably dropped 5 psi if you haven't checked over the last couple weeks, so get out the tire inflator and put some air in if you need it!

@humfrz maybe, my car starts slower than usual when cold, slower than it usually did 3 years ago and still on stock oem Panasonic battery. I've had to do a couple jump starts last year after running my emergency lights.
But for tires, I recommend keeping an eye on your tire presssure temps during autumn. Our southern sunny 90*F weather here is going to start dropping to the 50* soon. I had 5psi drop out of each tire and couldn't figure out what had happened to my handling, @CSG_mike said my struts were worn, but really we just had cold mornings and my tires were low.

"The rule of thumb is for every 10° Fahrenheit change in air temperature, tire pressures will change about 2% (up with higher temperatures and down with lower). This means that light-duty, standard-pressure tires (typically inflated to 30-50 psi) used in applications on cars, vans and light trucks will change by about 1 psi; where heavy-duty, high-pressure tires (typically inflated to 80-100 psi) used in applications on recreational vehicles, busses and trucks will change by about 2 psi." http://www.tirerack.com/winter/tech/....jsp?techid=73 Did you really have a 100 degree temperature change?

I had the opposite happen. It warmed up 10 degrees and my tires blew up from over inflation. Sucks!
