How Do I Check My Tire Pressure?

Maintaining tire pressure helps to keep vehicles safe and reliable, and the good news is that it’s a very easy process you can practice at home. All you need is a tire pressure gauge and your vehicle’s manual. Begin by determining the proper pressure for your vehicle’s tires, as located in the owner’s manual. Then remove the valve cap on your tire and store it safely. Attach the pressure gauge where you have removed the valve cap. Once you hear a hissing sound, the gauge should begin reading. Fill the tires as needed, and replace the cap.

How Do I Maintain Tire Pressure?

Knowing how to check tire pressure is important, but you also want to take steps to maintain the proper pressure for your vehicle, as well. You can do this by checking your pressure at least once a month and before long drives, and by always double checking that the valve caps are properly replaced. You want to check tire pressure more often during periods of temperature fluctuation, and schedule regular inspections and tire service for your vehicle.
