I measure them with a depth gauge.
Also remember that the inflation pressures are to be done at the
nominal temperature of 68° cold.

BTW - I run 36 front, 44 back, done at whatever nominal temperature the garage happens to be.

The rule of thumb is for every 10° Fahrenheit change in air temperature, your tire's inflation pressure will change by about 1 psi (up with higher temperatures and down with lower).
Do the math from 68°, you'll be on target!

doesn't the tire pressure monitoring system have a setting which displays whether the tires are over or under inflated, taking temperature into consideration? (this is a somewhat rhetorical question that I should know the answer to, since I paid for the option, but am having too much fun just getting in car an driving...opposed to reading the manual).

Friendly Advice....
The tire pressure monitoring offers the following functions:
– Display of the actual tire pressure while the vehicle is in motion
– Display of the deviation from the required pressure (refilling pressure)
– Display of currently set tire size and type
– Tire pressure warnings in two stages

Too busy to RTFM because I'm FN Driving 
(only had the car a week) Thanks for the FN advice, knew I saw that somewhere. Great thing about these forums is you can always find a few MF'ers (manual flippers) to answer all your questions
