Another obvious but often neglected part of regular daily maintenance is checking tire pressure.
To check tire pressure, you will need to first read the side of the tire and see what the recommended tire pressure is. Usually, it will read something like “50 psi maximum.”
There are two types of gauges used to check pressure. The most common (and the cheapest) is the pen gauge. The second is the more accurate dial gauge. To check tire pressure with the pen gauge, remove the cap, push the gauge flush to the stem, hold for a moment, release and a retractable piece of plastic listing the psi (pounds per square inch) of the tire can be read.
The dial gauge fixes to the tire stem in the same way but is much more convenient to read as the dial is right on the face of the gauge.
Take note of the temperature outside before inflating your tires. If the temperature is 75 degrees or less and you haven’t been driving much, then inflating the tires to about 5 psi below the maximum is fine. However, if the temperature is hot or if you’ve been driving for awhile, the air in the tires will expand so don’t inflate more than within 10 psi of the maximum.
