Exactly. This.

From what I understand, there are other brands of sensors out there that continually emit RF signals or get triggered on by rotation of the tires. However, those brands will have much less battery life then this orotek brand does.
Anytime bud. Try the lower pressure first instead of a full deflation...slightly less hassle. Of course if you do a full deflation you could always refill the tires with nitrogen . Far less pressure gain across cold/hot cycles.

+1 on the nitrogen. My dad put that into his tacomas tires in 09. Hes inly been back once because he ran over a nail so he got the tire patched and refilled.
