Correct pressure matters...a lot!
Keeping the right air pressure in your tires helps do 3 things:
- Makes tires last longer
- Promotes better handling and safety
- Saves money on fuel
How often should I check my tire pressure?
For best results, check your tire pressure weekly. Tires lose pressure every day, and when the temperature rises the pressure drops even more quickly. Most tires lose 1 to 2 pounds of pressure per month. And don’t forget about your spare tire!
The correct tire pressure for your vehicle is specified in your owner's manual. Keep in mind that some vehicles take different pressure in the front and the rear wheels. To reduce leakage, you should also replace your valve stems every time you purchase new tires.
