Air Pressure Questions
I have Marathon Winter studded tires in the 26 X 1.95 size. What is an optimum pressure for them? Also, should they be inflated with the cold air that is outside or would inflating them using warm inside air (76 degrees) not make much difference when they go outside in the minus 10 to plus 10 degree fahrenheit temperatures?
If I inflate the tires outside and then bring them inside for overnight storage would they explode from too much pressure as the air expands to a higher temperature? The pressure difference is probably not a big problem but I would like to hear from others with experience in this situation.
Thank you.

depends on rider/gear weight and road conditions.
heavier rider: more
lots of snow: less
