To check tire pressure, remove the valve cap from the tire. Attach a pressure gauge to the valve stem until the hissing stops. Read the pressure on the gauge. Standard gauges show pressure with a visible bar. Regular checks enhance clarity, usability, and safety, ensuring accurate tire performance for better driving.
Connect the air compressor to the valve stem, ensuring a tight fit. Inflate the tire gradually and periodically check the pressure with your gauge. Stop inflating once the recommended pressure is achieved.
After inflating, replace the valve cap securely to prevent air leakage. Regularly checking air pressure will enhance tire performance and extend their lifespan.
Understanding how to check and inflate tires properly is crucial for vehicle safety. Next, we will explore the signs of under-inflated tires and discuss how maintaining proper pressure affects fuel efficiency and driving comfort.
