Caring for tires is an easy and very important part of car maintenance part 2

Step 7-3. Checking the air pressure.

Check the air pressure before you start out, when the tires are cool. Never exceed the maximum inflation pressure printed on the side of the tire. The tire pressure recommended for your car is usually found in the glove box or in the owner’s manual. Buy a pencil-type pressure gauge and leave it in the glove box. To check the pressure, unscrew the valve cap, fit the end of the gauge over the threaded end of the valve stem, and press in. If you hear any hissing, you don’t have a good seal and the reading will not be accurate. When the air enters the gauge, a marked scale pops out of the gauge, displaying the pressure. If the pressure is too high, use the small stud on the gauge to press in the pin in the center of the valve stem. Bleed off a little air and check the pressure again. If the pressure is too low, drive to the nearest gas station and add air. (more…)
