How To Check Your Tire Pressure

5. The Tools

The first thing you need is a tire gauge. The typical pencil-type can be purchased inexpensively at any general store, but are not the best quality and can produce inaccurate readings. Experts recommend using an analogue, dial, or digital gauge. If you do not have a pump or compressor, most gas stations have a self-serve hose available. You can also bring your vehicle to an auto or tire service center for a professional to handle and many provide free checks.
