Yes, and DO NOT use the old "pop up" style air pressure gauge if you want an accurate reading. It also goes without saying that the pop up kind that are attached to the air nozzle on the air compressor are also wildly inaccurate.

Get a real gauge. Everytime I've left the tire shop, the air pressure is off by between 4 lbs. and 7 lbs per tire.

I got mine at:
