Advice on Tyre Inflation pressures, please

I have heard the theory that if you have driven more than a mile or so, the tyres have heated up to expand the air inside enough to give you a different reading than if they were cold - about 2-3 psi.

i.e. if cold, it would be 30 but if hot 32-33, so giving the impression you don't need to inflate any more, even if you really do.

Is this bs-alert time, or is there something to it?

Or would switching to Nitrogen give a different result - even though I'm not anxious to pay for that... or is the whole Nitrogen thing another pile of bs to get you to buy something else?

Thanks for any advice.

Rick
