How To Check Your Tire Pressure

1. Check Your Owner’s Manual

The first thing to do when checking air pressure in tires is to review the vehicle’s manual. Each manufacturer will have details specific to different models and car sizes, so it is important to not over- or under-inflate tires. The manual, or a sticker on the inside the driver’s door, will have a recommendation for the standard cold tire inflation pressure; that is the air pressure of tires that have remained idle and are not warmed up from driving. That is the time you want to be adding air.
