Correct answer
Cold, without heat from driving.
Cold, without heat from driving, following manufacturer instructions and using a pressure gauge. A cold tyre may be at ambient temperature: these are not opposite conditions. Pressure rises as it warms; do not release air from a hot tyre merely to match the cold value. If a hot check is necessary, follow the applicable specific guidance and recheck cold.
