Tire air pressure is crucial to a vehicle's overall performance.

Page 5: Can low tires cause problems

Using a basic tire air pressure gauge you can check your car’s tire air pressure.

Page 6: Can low tires cause problems

Gauges can be bought for as low as three dollars for a basic one or more for a higher

quality one.

Page 7: Can low tires cause problems

Once you have a tire air pressure gauge you may need to check your car’s owner manual

to find the optimal air pressure for your tires.

If you cannot find your owner's manual there will be a sticker or label on the inside of one

of the doors.

How to Fix Low Tires

Page 10: Can low tires cause problems

First off you will need to find your ideal tire air pressure for your vehicle, which can be

found in your owner's manual, data stickers, or even on-line.

Once you know the appropriate air pressure you must make the trip to a nearby service

station and use their air compressor.

The majority of service stations will have one, but if the one you visited did not have

one try the next one.

After that, you must take off rubber covers which are on the wheel stems and now you

are free to connect the air compressor to your tire.

Fill your wheel with air for a couple of minutes and then remove the hose and

place your gauge on the stem to check your air pressure.

Perform repeatedly as needed to reach perfect air pressure.

Sliding due to loss of grip or even a blowout from destroyed wheels is something that can

happen.
