tire pressure and cold wether

Left this past Friday to go camping great trip. When I left I check all tires an 80 lbs of pressure. TPMS on and no problems On Monday morning when it was time to return check tires and the right 2 were down 30 lbs and the left 2 were 8 lbs low. A cold front had come thru on Friday night I expected a drop but not 30 lbs. added air and returned no leaks in valves or tires. not sure what happened. Any suggestions?

8 lbs. drop is somewhat believable for a cold front but not 30.
I'd be looking harder for a leak or signs of someone messing around.

Sounds like your system is leaking, had the same problem had to replace the 0 rings, they leaked again on me, I sent them back to TST. They rebuilt them for free, if they are flow thru, they said it a common problem with the valve. You have 2 places it can leak not 1 like the button top, I can also understand 8 plus or minus 2 degrees but not 30, I would call them. They are great to work with. They had some rebuilt units for sale then so they gave me a deal 4 bottom tops for 100.00 bucks, now I have both styles, I will not move my trailer without them being reading correct, they have saved me twice now.[emoji120] [emoji482] [emoji15] safe travels.
