That may be true, but they started out at 2-3 times the PSI. "The pressure dropped that much because it was cold," sorry, that dog won't hunt.
They cheat as a matter of course, it would appear, even when they do not need to do so. I am not interested in watching the Superbowl this year, don't care to watch either team that is in it.
It was 2 lbs higher PSI not 2-3 times the PSI. 1/2 - 1/3rd they would have been flat as pancakes.
