How Do I Keep My Tires Properly Inflated?Keeping your tires properly inflated is very important and can definitely benefit you in the long run. 1) Check your tire pressure at least once a month and before going on long trips. Checking your tire pressure is very simple and can be done using a device called a tire pressure gauge. If you don't have a tire pressure gauge, most gas stations have an air pump station equipped with a tire pressure gauge. *Please note: Since temperature affects tire pressure, it's best to check your tires when they are cold. Checking tire pressure after driving can result in inaccurate pressure readings. 2) Fill your tires according to vehicle manufacturer specifications. Recommended pressure can be found on the tire label, located on the driver door frame, sill, or edge. 3) You can find additional information about tires and maintenance by checking your vehicle owner's manual or contacting your local dealership.
