Correct answer
No; check and adjust to the recommended value with cold tyres.
No. The manufacturer’s recommended road-use pressure is checked and adjusted with cold tyres. Heating increases pressure: do not release air from a hot tyre to reach its cold value, because it could be underinflated after cooling. Checking a suspected fault is not prohibited; do not confuse that with this routine adjustment.
