I would think you would run higher pressures in colder climates and lower in hotter climates.
My (somewhat fuzzy) reasoning behind it is that in a hotter climate the tyre will get a number of times hotter in use than that of a colder climate. Hotter conditions plus hotter tyre should equal a larger change in volume/pressure of the air in the tyre.
In the UK you can get up to 2psi change of pressure after some progressive driving, I'd expect in a climate 15-20*C hotter that would be more like 4psi?
Of course I'm no scientist and the above is purely my own fiction (except the UK pressure change), so I could be completely wrong and talking crap
