It's getting warm out (finally) and everyone is getting geared up for the busy time of going here and running there. Don't let summer fun be spoiled by tire failure!
Temperature change effects tire pressure
so now is the time to check your tires pressure!
Q. What is the proper pressure for my tire or how do I find it?
A. The tire pressure is stamped on the side of the tire. This is the recommended pressure the tire manufacturer has determined for the weight load capacity of the tire,
and for the best ride.
Q. What about the tag on the door of my vehicle?
A. That is the recommended pressure for the original equipment tires and that is for the best ride qualities also. Since this information is for the original tires to the vehicle, you should always consult the side of the tire for the best answer.
**Don't forget that properly inflated tires do make a difference in fuel economy and longevity!
***Please use caution when airing tires and NEVER air a tire that has been run down the road flat or very low for any period of time as there is probably sidewall damage and nobody needs a tire blowing up on them.
