Tire inflation guide for 22s

Question for the team, after 6 months riding on my 22s, I got a warning sign for low tire inflation. I went from OEM 21 to 22s. My question is do I still follow the psi rate on the sticker on the driver side door or 22s have their own psi rates? For reference, I went from 285/21/35 front, 310/21/30 rear to 295/22/30 front and 325/22/25 rear. Thanks

Question is did you reset TPMS? Wheel size should not kick a low tire pressure warning. Did you have a cold evening the night before?

I did reset it after the 22s were installed. I wouldn't say a really cold night, temperature did drop a few days ago from 90s to 70s here in so cal

There is chart somewhere for psi drop/ degree in temp drop…probably what set off TPMS. You should check pressure one a week when cold ( tires cold), air up with bicycle pump to at least pressure on tire side wall

Since the warning sign came up and stayed up for 2 days. I went ahead inflated then per the sticker on the door, 36 psi front 44 psi rear. Reset the tire pressure. Sign went away. Hopefully it's ok now. Thanks for your input
