My garage has been warming up but it has been warming up other years too without this phenomenon occurring. I guarantee it isn't another person doing it. That leaves something mechanical like brakes or my gauge is reading inaccurate. I don't see why the gauge would read differently on 2 of the tires unless the others are actually low and reading normally.

Tires just don't increase pressure for no reason. The air isn't going to leak into a tire. Any way for air to travel through the tire will let air out not in. Gotta be some kind of bad joke. I have mechanical Aptitude. I can screw up anything.

FYI our "regular air" is 78% nitrogen.
