Are your tires inflated at 32 PSI?

OK, then this may be the typical transition from winter to summer. You should also notice that when you transition from summer to winter, you will gain pressure but at the very least, you should lose pressure a lot slower. Know this and try to compensate before the pressures get too far from what they ought to be. Low pressure like that causes much more tire flex and heat buildup.

I run my 2004 at 32 psi for normal driving. For autocross, I bump them up to 34-36, and the to/from drive is noticeably harsher than normal 32 psi cruising.

It should also be written on the door jam.

I run mine at 32 during rain season. Summer time it's between 34-35. You really have to play with it to find your sweet spot.
