A Few Tips to Remember Regarding Proper Tire Inflation
It's important to regularly check your tire pressure using a reliable gauge. Remember to gauge all four tires, including the spare. In most cases, you should check your tire pressure at least once a month or before long trips. Furthermore, be aware of changes in temperature. When it's hot outside, your tires will need more air than when it's cold. Cold weather can cause your pressure to drop, while hot weather can cause it to increase. Inflate your tires to the pressure (in PSI) recommended in your owner's manual. If you notice your tires are low on air, add air at your nearest gas station until they reach the correct pressure, and try not to overinflate your tires. Luckily, most modern vehicles come with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System, which is designed to alert you if a drop in tire pressure is detected in one or several of your tires. This system can be a helpful tool, especially if you're not able to check your tires regularly.
