problem with tire pressure monitoring

I have a 2011 Ram 1500.

I was wondering if anyone had the same problem. Everytime the temperature gets below 40 degrees the tire pressure in all my tires drops and it takes awhile before the pressure goes back up.

Put some more air in. Tire pressure is supposed to be measured cold.

Tire pressure will drop 1# for every 10 degrees of temp (approx).

Check them when cold, and adjust to the curent ambient temp.
