The spec list monitors pressure from 0 to 50psi which tells me you can use cold pressure up to 50psi. NO YOU CAN NOT! This overpressure starts at 47psi and is listed in the supplied manual. Even if you set your tires to a low-to-medium pressure of 40psi, when they get hot and the pressure builds up, this system will annoy you like hell with over-inflated pressure. Alarm clock
