Yes it does. As air gets colder, the molecules contract and therefore, in a tire, the pressure decreases. As a rule of thumb, you lose or gain 1 PSI for every 10 degree temperature change. So, if you were all set to the 35 PSI manufacturer spec on an 80 degree summer day, you would be down to 29 on a brisk 20 degree winter morning.
