Understanding Tire Pressure Fundamentals

Proper tire pressure is essential for vehicle safety, performance, and longevity. Learn how to maintain optimal PSI for your tires.

Why Tire Pressure Matters

  • Safety: Under-inflated tires increase stopping distances and reduce handling
  • Fuel Efficiency: Properly inflated tires improve gas mileage by up to 3%
  • Tire Life: Correct pressure extends tire lifespan significantly
  • Comfort: Proper inflation provides better ride quality

How to Check Tire Pressure

  1. Use a quality tire pressure gauge
  2. Check tires when they're cold (driven less than 2 miles)
  3. Compare with your vehicle's door placard or owner's manual
  4. Add air gradually and recheck pressure

Tire Pressure by Vehicle

Every vehicle has specific tire pressure recommendations. Find your exact PSI requirements by searching our vehicle database.

Temperature Effects

Tire pressure naturally increases with temperature. For every 10°F change, expect about 1 PSI difference. Always check pressure when tires are cold.
