Yes, dry air also expands when hot. It raises tire pressure by a negligible amount, comparatively.

Maybe not our applications, but the wifey's ES350 TPMS was going off all last winter (Minnesota) until we put the nitrogen in...And then the alarms stopped going off while the weather outside stayed frightful
