‘Cookies and milk. Ink and pen. Table and Chair.’ Some things go together, like checking the air in your car tires and inflating them to the recommended tire pressure. There’s a compelling motive to do so. Driving on underinflated tires can result in risky handling, tire degradation, and decreased gas consumption.<\/em><\/p>\n

Car maintenance is not necessarily something that only your mechanic can perform. Inflating car tires is one of the most specific skills to acquire. Eventually, your tires will require inflation due to normal wear and tear.<\/span><\/p>\n

The following sections discuss why and how to inflate your tires properly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Determine the correct tire pressure for your car<\/span><\/h2>\n

Unlike a balloon, inflating a tire to the proper level is difficult to observe, but you can test your tire pressure<\/a> with a tire pressure gauge. These come in various forms, but their operation is generally identical.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you have determined the tire pressure you need to inflate, you can check the driver’s side doorframe to determine the proper tire pressure for each tire (measured in psi). Most tires are rated for optimal performance between 32 and 35 psi.<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, do not overinflate your tires, as this can reduce your contact with the road, reducing your traction. Avoid underinflating your tires, as this will negatively impact fuel economy and accelerate tire wear.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cannot find the pressure in your doorframe? Do you have an older car? <\/span>Check your owner’s handbook or a label in your glove box, gasoline filler flap, or trunk lid for the psi.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you drive, your tires heat up, which increases the psi. So check on them first thing in the morning, when they are still pretty cold. You can also check them after your car has been idling for a while or been driven only a short distance.<\/span><\/p>\n
