Check The Tire Pressure Guide
Maintaining the recommended tire pressure will allow for safer driving and improve fuel efficiency. Especially when fuel prices are climbing up, in difficult atmospheric conditions like rain, snow, or ice; tire pressure can make a difference when driving.
Checking the tire pressure is easy, everything you need is a tire pressure gauge of good quality and a source of air to inflate the tire to the required pressure. You can choose between analog and digital tire pressure gauge. Digital ones are usually very precise and have the advantage of an easy to read backlit LCD screen.
The source of air can be air compressor at the gas station or you can get one for yourself, it can always come in handy. Do not rely on the gas station’s air machine gauge, as it is usually beat and inaccurate, so have your own gauge to insure proper PSI for your tires.
Before you start, make sure that your car is unloaded and on even ground, otherwise the reading could be innacurate. Also, your tires should be cold, they should not have been driven on for at least three hours. If they were, compensate for the heat generated pressure by blowing up the tires 5 PSI more than the recommended pressure.
First, find out the recommended pressure for your tires. You can find it in the owner’s manual of your car, it is usually also displayed on the sticker on the driver’s side door. You shouldn’t over inflate your tires as they wear out more quickly. Keeping the tires under inflated i a safety hazard and wears out the tire wall. It’s best to maintain the tire pressure within 5 PSI of the recommended value.
Now, locate the tire valve and remove the protective cap. Press the gauge on the valve stem, try to keep it even. You will hear some air get away, but if you’ve placed the gauge right it should stop immediately. Press it firmly and you will get a reading, either by blowing out a metered peg or a needle on a traditional gauge, or a number reading on a digital model.
If the pressure is low, blow up your tire and recheck the pressure. If it’s too high, let some air out by the air bleed valve on your gauge if it has one, or by moving the gauge until you hear the air escaping. For the other tires, repeat the last two steps.
