I have noticed that according to my in dash display on my 2011 Silverado 1500, all 4 tires are always reading around 28- 30 PSI, the MFG Spec calls for 35 PSI, however they dont get low enough to illuminate the low pressure light.
Ive had the dealer pump them up to 37 PSI a couple times and in a few days they are right back to 30 PSI. Anyone have any thoughts?

A change in temperature is likely your culprit.

Thanks, and yes I too contibute change of Temperature, but do you think that 5psi drop affect my tire wear or fuel milage? I was thinking of replacing the air with nitrogen, do you think that may help?

Mine have N2, they are 27 in the garage, shortly after 3 - 5 miles they go to 30 psi. perfect

JK23112 makes a great point. Temperature is usually the culprit and is normal. If this issue continues to concern you, stop by your dealer and have them check it out. Best of luck!
