My Boxster is getting new tires today, and after I get it home and let the tires cool down, I will check the pressures, because it seems to me that whenever I get new tires, on any of my cars through the years, the pressures have always been too high.

This makes me wonder if this is possibly intentional...to make the bead seal better to the rim or something? Or whether this is just inattention on the part of the mounters? Is there any reason why I should not reduce the pressure as soon as possible after cool-down?
